An 18-year-old Stanford freshman at the time, Voss began building an application that could automatically recognize images. Then he thought of his cousin, who had autism.

Nathan Copeland was one of the first people fitted with a brain implant after an accident left him paralyzed.

The real question a new study suggests isn't why some people occasionally experience hallucinations: It's why all of us aren't hallucinating all the time.

Stanford scientists, using only direct brain stimulation, reproduced both the brain dynamics and the behavioral response of mice taught to discriminate between two different images.

New laser technology appeared to trigger particular images in the brains of lab mice.

Noel Vest, PhD, hasn’t let his past experiences with addiction and incarceration keep him from a science career. He recently joined Stanford Medicine as a postdoctoral scholar in the Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab, focusing on research and public polic

Privacy concerns caused the computerized eyewear to fail with the general public. But researchers believe it could help autistic children learn to recognize emotion and make eye contact.

Alakananda Das, a postdoctoral fellow in the Stanford lab of Miriam Goodman, finds pleasure in the successes that follow from sometimes repetitive lab work.

Dail Chapman, a postdoctoral scholar, talks about her work in the lab and her ultimate plans to teach science at a liberal arts college.

Scientists who peered inside snoozing zebrafish have spotted some strikingly familiar patterns of activity.

Scientists who studied a small, transparent fish believe the way humans sleep could have evolved 450 million years ago.

Researchers find that neural sleep patterns in fish are analogous to those in mammals, paving ways to develop sleep medication.

Deep sleep and REM sleep could be universal among vertebrates, stretching 450 million years back in evolutionary time.

Researchers have found that brain patterns in sleeping zebrafish are similar to those of land vertebrates, suggesting that such sleep signatures developed before aquatic and land animals diverged.

Researchers at Stanford have found a way to regenerate hair cells in the vestibular system of the mouse ear, with implications for treating dizziness.

MIT Technology Review announced their '35 Innovators Under 35' list and Guosong Hong is on that list.
