Researchers reduced the power requirements of neural interfaces while improving their accuracy by tuning into a subset of brain waves. Read More
Friends who "swapped bodies" using virtual reality to generate the perceptual illusion found their beliefs about their personalities altered to become more similar to the beliefs about their friends' personalities. Findings suggest that when our mental self-concept doesn't match our physical self, our memories become impaired. Read More
