A paralyzed person is expected to make the first kick in the World Cup this year, thanks to a new brain controlled exoskeleton with a sense of touch, designed by researchers at TUM. Read More
A new study reveals the neurological mechanisms at work during ketamine anesthesia. Read More
Researchers have developed a technique to make brain controlled prosthetics more precise. A pilot clinical trial of the neuroprosthesis is underway for people with paralysis and ALS. Read More
Researchers propose four new human rights laws that could help protect against exploitation and privacy loss in the age of neurotechnology. Read More
Researchers report a new EEG system is capable of capturing more information from the visual cortex than previous versions of the same system. Read More
A new machine learning study has revealed a novel combination of factors that can increase a person's risk of developing dementia. Read More
Researchers report amputees are able to control a robotic arm with help of brain implants and BMI technology. The study details how brain areas that control both the intact arm and amputated limb can create new connections and learn to control the robotic arm, even years following the loss of a limb.

A new study reports overweight and obese young adults are almost twice as likely than their peers of lower weight to binge, purge and embark on other behaviors associated with eating disorders. Researchers found Asian/Pacific islanders and sexual minorities were also at higher risk of developing eating disorders. Read More
Researchers use computer technology to help understand how the brain circuitry controls movement. Read More
Obesity and a higher body mass index negatively impacts the progression of Multiple Sclerosis. Ceramides are more abundant in the blood of those who are overweight. The ceramides enter inside the nucleus of monocytes, causing proliferation. The increased number of monocytes travel back to the brain, causing more damage for those with RRMS. Read More
Obesity and higher body mass are linked to decreased cerebral blood flow. Lower cerebral blood flow is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and a range of psychiatric disorders. Read More
New advances in brain computer interface technology allows three people with movement impairments to control a cursor by imagining their hand movements. Read More
