Next-Gen Wearable Lets You Control Machines with Simple Gestures

A new wearable system uses stretchable electronics and artificial intelligence to interpret human gestures with high accuracy even in chaotic, high-motion environments. Unlike traditional gesture-based wearables that fail under movement noise, this patch-based device filters interference in real time, allowing gestures to reliably control machines such as robotic arms.

AI Models Form Theory-of-Mind Beliefs

Researchers showed that large language models use a small, specialized subset of parameters to perform Theory-of-Mind reasoning, despite activating their full network for every task. This sparse internal circuitry depends heavily on positional encoding, especially rotary positional encoding, which shapes how the model tracks beliefs and perspectives.

Brain Decoder Translates Visual Thoughts Into Text

A new brain decoding method called mind captioning can generate accurate text descriptions of what a person is seeing or recalling—without relying on the brain's language system. Instead, it uses semantic features from vision-related brain activity and deep learning models to translate nonverbal thoughts into structured sentences.

Touching Without Contact: We Physically Sense Objects Before Feeling Them

A new study shows that humans possess a form of “remote touch,” allowing them to detect hidden objects in sand before making direct contact. Participants sensed buried cubes by perceiving tiny mechanical reflections generated as they moved their fingertips through the sand.

Nano Tech Helps CBD Quiet Pain at the Source

A new study shows that CBD delivered through a nano-micelle system can cross the blood–brain barrier and produce rapid neuropathic pain relief. The formulation, called CBD-IN, helped mice within 30 minutes and avoided the motor and cognitive side effects often seen with conventional pain drugs.

Adaptive Music Tech Makes Workouts More Fun, Helps People Stay Active

Researchers have shown that adaptive music systems that adjust tempo and rhythm to match a user’s movement can make exercise significantly more enjoyable and motivating. These personalized interactive music systems use real-time data from wearables to keep music aligned with walking, cycling, or weightlifting intensity, helping users stay in rhythm and maintain effort.

New Therapy Reshapes Images That Fuel Psychosis

A new imagery-focused therapy called iMAPS may help people with psychosis gain control over disturbing mental images that fuel paranoia, fear, and hallucinations. In a feasibility trial of 45 participants, the approach showed strong patient engagement and meaningful reductions in distress by teaching individuals to understand, transform, and re-script intrusive images.

AI-Driven Brain Implant Brings “Two-Way” Artificial Vision Closer to Reality

Scientists have created an advanced visual neuroprosthesis that communicates bidirectionally with the brain, marking one of the biggest steps yet toward restoring functional vision. Unlike earlier devices, this closed-loop implant adapts in real time to neural activity, allowing the system and the brain to “learn” from each other.

AI Creates the Most Detailed 3D Map of the Human Brain Ever Made

A new AI-powered atlas called NextBrain allows researchers to visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail, down to hundreds of tiny subregions previously invisible on MRI scans. Built from 10,000 microscopic slices of post-mortem brains and aligned with AI, the atlas precisely maps 333 brain regions in 3D.

AI Can Spot Lies, But Not as Well as Humans Can

A large-scale study tested whether AI personas can detect when humans are lying—and found that while AI can sometimes spot deception, it’s still far from trustworthy. Across 12 experiments involving 19,000 AI participants, the systems performed inconsistently, showing a strong bias toward identifying lies rather than truths.

This shows a cell phone, neurons and a sensor.

$2 Saliva Test Could Help Detect Depression and Schizophrenia

Scientists have developed a portable biosensor that can detect levels of BDNF, a protein linked to mental health conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. The flexible, low-cost device analyzes a drop of saliva in under three minutes, offering a fast, affordable, and noninvasive diagnostic tool.
