This shows a young girl's head and brain waves.
Researchers discovered a neural signature that predicts when a child is about to lose focus. By delivering a targeted pulse at the exact millisecond this signal appears, scientists were able to restore attentional flexibility in children with ADHD and epilepsy. This world-first study paves the way for non-invasive, personalized technologies that support learning and engagement in real-time.

Researchers have developed a brain-controlled hearing system that uses real-time neural signals to solve the "cocktail party problem." By matching a listener's brain waves to specific voices in a crowd, the device can automatically amplify a chosen conversation while silencing others, paving the way for a new generation of "neural extension" hearing aids that align with human intent.

Addiction is a biological imbalance where reward systems overpower self-control. Researchers have demonstrated that using rTMS to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex can restore this balance, reducing cigarette use by 11 per day. This "top-down" approach strengthens the brain's ability to resist cravings, offering a promising precision-medicine tool for those struggling to quit smoking.
This shows a prism, math equations and a neural network.
Physicists have developed a mathematical "toy model" using statistical physics to explain one of the great mysteries of deep learning: why massive neural networks learn patterns instead of just memorizing data. By applying renormalization theory, the team has shown how high-dimensional fluctuations stabilize learning, paving the way for more efficient and predictable artificial intelligence.
