New Brain-Computer Interface Restores Speech for ALS Patients: Raises Privacy, Ethical, and Psychological Concerns
Brain science has achieved a seminal breakthrough with a new brain-computer interface (BCI). Researchers at UC Davis Health have recently...
TomoDRGN empowers scientists to visualize proteins’ shape changes using algorithms
Tomography-Derived Reconstructive Generative Network (tomoDRGN), the latest innovation in the field of molecular biology, is revolutionizing scientists' ability to visualize...
Humans given lab-grown blood for the first time
Blood, grown in a laboratory, was transfused into humans for the first time in a landmark clinical trial. According to U.K. researchers, this could significantly improve treatment for people with blood disorders and rare blood types.
The One Language the Whole Human Race Has
There are more than 7,100 languages are spoken in the world today. But there is only one that is truly universal. We don’t speak the language with words, but describe with the action of our brains.
The Human Brain is a Device That Predicts the Future
Our ability to reason affects the ability to predict the future. The reasoning is the process of using logical thinking to come to a conclusion.
Biologists Create New Human Cells: Artificial Humans?
A recent study, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell by Professor Vincent Pasque and his colleagues at KU Leuven, used stem cells to create new human cells in the lab, marking the real beginning of making artificial humans.
How beneficial can “white noise” be?
White noise blocks out other sounds and has been shown to signal to the brain that it is time to sleep. Your brain will learn to associate white noise with sleep more quickly the more often you listen to it.
Can you create “Artificial Senses” in the lab?
…in order to create artificial senses in a lab, a neural network must be trained to recognize patterns among other sensors. The most vulnerable part of this mechanism is that it can be hacked.
A way to “Detect Speech” from People’s brain
We don’t just make any old random noise when we talk; we’re thinking about our words, and that makes us...
Scientists Now Identify How the Brain Links Memories
UCLA researchers have recently discovered a key molecular mechanism behind memory linking. They’ve also identified a way to restore this brain function in middle-aged mice — and an FDA-approved drug that achieves the same thing.
