Machine learning may allow clinicians better ability to predict which of their patients will attempt suicide, a new study reports. Read More
A new study reports researchers have successfully used electrical stimulation on the spinal cord of a paralyzed patient to allow him to stand, move his legs and make stepping motions. 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
A new 'click on' prosthetic arm allow can be controlled by thought. Read More
Researchers have created a new musical instrument that can be controlled by thought alone. The instrument, dubbed the Encephalophone, may help as a rehabilitation tool for those with motor disabilities, the Frontiers in Human Neuroscience study reports. Read More
Researchers investigate advances in BCI and consider the implications of linking our brains up to technology. Read More
Researchers have created a convolutional neural network to better understand how the brain processes movies of natural scenes. This may be the first step in helping scientists decode how the brain makes sense of dynamic visual surroundings. Read More
A combination of activity based training and spinal cord epidural stimulation has allowed a patient paralyzed as a result of spinal cord injury to regain voluntary movement in his legs, researchers report. Read More
Following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a procedure that reroutes residual limb nerves to intact muscles and skin in amputees, the brain remaps both motor and sensory pathways. Additionally, researchers note, TMSR may help counteract poorly adapted cortical plasticity following amputation. Read More
Researchers report repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can help to reverse some of the signs of Alzheimer's disease. So long as patients receive the treatments, cognitive decline appears to halt and, in some cases, cognitive abilities improve. Read More
Researchers call for regulations and ethical guidelines to help protect personal privacy and autonomy for those who use neurotechnologies. Read More
An international team of researchers have created remote controlled nanobots from a biodegradable material that they believe could assist doctors in diagnosing diseases and delivering drugs to target sites. Read More
