Advocates say neurotechnology can encourage economic growth and the betterment of society. Others say it could fuel inequity and undermine democracy, among other possible unknown consequences. Reading ...

The newly developed “lab on a tube” is a catheter equipped with multiple sensors capable of continuously monitoring numerous physiological and biochemical changes in the brain, simultaneously. The ...

The future of electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring may soon look like a strand of hair. In place of the traditional metal electrodes, a web of wires and sticky adhesives, a team of researchers from ...

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 ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have found a new way to more precisely detect and monitor brain cell activity during deep brain stimulation, a common treatment for movement disorders such as Parkinson's ...

Associate Professor at the University of Oulu Teemu Myllylä, a leading expert in biomedical engineering, recently discussed his team's groundbreaking work in brain health monitoring and early ...

Scientists at Penn State have come up with a new way to monitor brain activity using a hairlike EEG electrode. Instead of traditional metal electrodes, wires, and adhesive gels, this lightweight, ...

Neural interfaces create a direct link between the brain and a device like a computer to enable communication, and the monitoring, recording, or stimulating of neural activity. These interfaces have a ...

The human brain, weighing roughly three pounds, runs the full spectrum of cognition, motor control, sensory processing, and emotional regulation on a power budget estimated at 10 to 20 watts. That is ...

Blood sampling can monitor various physiological processes inside the body by analyzing their associated serum markers. However, most physiological processes, including those that occur in the brain, ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
