Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Bioengineering scientists in the US have developed a soft, thin, and stretchable bioelectronic implant, which they integrated into a tadpole embryo’s nervous system to help them track neural activity ...

Ever-evolving research is steadily turning science fiction into science fact. Neural implants -tiny devices that read or stimulate brain activity -have already entered human trials, showing what's ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today’s neural implants are smaller than ever, but often remain ...

This composite figure showcases typical examples of minimally invasive intracortical electrodes that reduce device dimensions and stiffness towards those of brain tissue. This composite figure ...

The human brain contains about 100 billion brain cells, and the chemical and electrical signals they exchange create most mental functions. Neural implant technology for precisely reading these ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

If you have a brain, and if you know others who do, then you know there’s a catastrophic catalogue of ways that our skull-socket electro-fat computers can disappoint their owners. From memory-loss to ...
