A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged ...

A new spatial transcriptomic approach captures the regulation of splicing and polyadenylation sites during pubescent brain development at near-single-cell resolution. An international collaboration, ...

A large, long-term study found that playing a brain training video game may help protect the brain against dementia for decades. Experts say the findings are the strongest evidence yet that cognitive ...

People who spent about two hours a week pinpointing flashing objects on a computer screen dramatically lowered their risk of dementia — including Alzheimer’s — 20 years later. The findings, published ...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...

X chromosome reactivation contributes to reducing the signs of disease in the female brain. Female cells have two X chromosomes and male cells have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. So that the ...

Last summer, a team of researchers reported using a brain-computer interface to detect words people with paralysis imagined saying, even without them physically attempting to speak. They also found ...

China’s brain-computer interface industry is growing fast, and the newest company to emerge from the country is aiming to access the brain without the use of invasive implants. Gestala, newly founded ...

Senior Lecturer in Neurosciences and Neurorehabilitation, Course Leader in the College of Health and Life Sciences, London South Bank University For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that ...

OpenAI is continuing its push into healthcare by investing in Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup co-founded by its CEO, Sam Altman. Merge Labs is a new competitor to Elon Musk’s Neuralink, ...

Brain-derived tau, a protein that is exclusive to the brain and detectable in the blood, could serve as an indicator of brain damage after an ischemic stroke. The analysis of this special form of tau ...
