The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest breakthroughs suggest the brain’s private code is finally yielding. Researchers are not ...

Meta is testing artificial intelligence systems that can turn patterns of brain activity into text, effectively letting people “type” with their thoughts while lying inside a scanner. The work is ...

Modality-agnostic decoders leverage modality-invariant representations in human subjects' brain activity to predict stimuli irrespective of their modality (image, text, mental imagery).

Peter Searson is leading a Johns Hopkins University team that is unravelling how Alzheimer's and other diseases disrupt the blood-brain barrier, the complex interface that allows or blocks the passage ...

Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) represent a transformative field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering and computer science, allowing for direct communication between the brain and external ...

The communication between the brain and bodily organs is fundamental to emotion regulation and overall mental health. The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in the brainstem is a critical hub structure ...

Research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) may finally explain why we still reach for the biscuit tin, even when we're full. A new study reveals that the human brain continues to respond to ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

A new machine learning algorithm developed by researchers from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and NYU's Center for Neural Science can isolate brain signals and decode how neural dynamics in the ...
