Cracking the Code of the Mind – Neurons Connected to Computers to Decipher Neuronal Circuits’ Codes
TAU team connects neurons to computers to decipher the enigmatic code of neuronal circuits Machine logic is based on human logic. But although a computer processor can be dissembled and dissected in logical steps, the same is not true for the way our brains process [Read More]
What Causes Brain Cancer? Understanding Glioblastoma
Understanding glioblastoma at the genetic, molecular level Glioblastoma is the most common and most lethal form of brain tumor in people. Research published in the International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design offers a novel way to determine what biological [Read More]
Researchers Can Predict Future Actions from Human Brain Activity
Brain research predicts premeditated actions Bringing the real world into the brain scanner, researchers at The University of Western Ontario from The Centre for Brain and Mind can now determine the action a person was planning, mere moments before that action is actually [Read More]
UC Riverside Neuroscientists’ Discovery Could Bring Relief to Epilepsy Sufferers
Maxim Bazhenov and Giri Krishnan used computational model to study epileptic seizures at the molecular level; research could lead to novel therapeutics for seizure disorder Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have made a discovery in the lab that could [Read More]
Restoring Memory, Repairing Damaged Brains With An Artificial Hippocampus
Biomedical engineers analyze and duplicate the neural mechanism of learning in rats Scientists have developed a way to turn memories on and off—literally with the flip of a switch. Using an electronic system that duplicates the neural signals associated with memory, they [Read More]
Researchers Map, Measure Brain’s Neural Connections
Computer scientists at Brown University have created software to examine neural circuitry in the human brain. The 2-D neural maps combine visual clarity with a Web-based digital map interface, and users can view 2-D maps together with 3-D images. The program aims to better [Read More]
Wiring The Brain: Making Connections – International Conference in Ireland
Wiring The Brain: Making Connections is an international conference that will be held in Powerscourt, County Wicklow, Ireland from April 12-15, 2011. The conference will explore how brain connectivity is established, what happens to circuit and network function when the [Read More]
Technique for Letting Brain Talk to Computers Now Tunes in Speech
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have adapted brain-computer interfaces to listen to regions of the brain that control speech. [Read More]
Scientists Develop New Technology for Stroke Rehabilitation
Devices which could be used to rehabilitate the arms and hands of people who have experienced a stroke have been developed by researchers at the University of Southampton. In a paper to be presented this week (6 April) at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) [Read More]
What the Brain Saw
The moment we open our eyes, we perceive the world with apparent ease. But the question of how neurons in the retina encode what we “see” has been a tricky one. A key obstacle to understanding how our brain functions is that its components—neurons—respond in highly [Read More]
