A tiny implanted wire bundle can relay scalp-delivered electricity deep into the brain, enabling precise stimulation.

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Despite all the attention on technologies that reduce the hands-on role of humans at work — such as self-driving vehicles, robot workers, artificial intelligence, and so on — researchers in the field ...

In a new paper with implications for preventing Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, Keith Hengen, an associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. We stand at the cusp of a massive technology paradigm shift that ...
