A protein associated with neuron damage in Alzheimer's patients provides a superior scaffold for growing central nervous system cells in the lab.
Researchers decipher the retina's neural code for brain communication to create novel, more effective prosthetic retinal device for blindness.
Researchers develop a flexible carbon-nanotube 'harpoon' to study individual brain neurons. The 'brain harpoon' harnesses the electromechanical properties of carbon nanotubes to capture the electrical signals generated by single neurons.
Millions of people suffering from multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries or amputees could soon interact with their computers and surroundings using just their eyes, thanks to a new device that costs less than £40 (~$63).
Researchers have discovered a complex and novel visual circuit in the brains of dragonflies. They hope the findings could some day help to improve vision systems for robots.
Researchers create functioning synapse using carbon nanotubes. Devices might be used in brain prostheses, or combined into a massive network...
New brain-machine interfaces that exploit the plasticity of the brain may allow people to control prosthetic devices in a natural...
Researchers use electrical stimulation in retinal cells to produce the same patterns of activity which occur when the retina sees moving objects.
Georgia Tech researchers have created a wireless, musical glove that may improve sensation and motor skills for people with paralyzing spinal cord injury (SCI).
When people close their eyes, they can form mental images of things that exist only in their minds. Neuroscientists studying...
Using tiny solar-panel-like cells surgically placed underneath the retina, scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a...
Engineers work to design prosthetic arm that allows amputees to feel what they touch. Engineering researchers at four U.S. universities...
