A new theory argues consciousness creates neural activity, and humans have evolved to see what is needed for survival. Perception, it is argued, is a user interface which may not necessarily be real. Read More
Researchers have built a decoder which is able to translate neural signals into mood variations. Read More
A new EEG and fMRI study of epilepsy patients may reveal clues about the origins of consciousness. Researchers report activity in the frontal lobe changes 2 seconds before patients report an alteration in perception, and activity in the medial temporal lobe changes one second prior to them reporting.

University of Pennsylvania researchers use cryptographic techniques to decode the activity of motor neurons. Read More
A new neuron labeling technique allows researchers to obtain a snapshot of their activity at any moment in time. The new approach could provide new insights into neural functioning by offering better precision than current, more long term, labeling techniques. Read More
Researchers have been able to successfully decode and predict the brain activity patters of word meanings within a sentence. Read More
Study reveals a mismatch between neural activity and blood flow in the brains of newborn mice, shedding light on how the developing brain feeds itself. Read More
A new technique allows researchers to look into the brains of living mice and witness the processing of sensory information in real time. Read More
Researchers have devised a new technique which allows them to observe the details of neurons at work in real time. Read More
Researchers have developed a new math method that can detect geometric structures in the brain's neural activity. Read More
Researchers develop a method to observe the activity of motor neurons in real time. Read More
A pioneering tool is set to investigate how a worm's brain controls its movements, researchers say. Read More
