Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, researchers report ...

The simplest brain-machine interface, or at least the one we can use the most readily, is the human hand. We've structured pretty much the entirely of computing around the input it's possible to ...

Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

Targeted deep brain stimulation improves spatial navigation in virtual reality study, offering new hope for treating cognitive impairments like dementia. Study ...

Personalized, adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) can enhance the control of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with standard DBS, new research suggests. In a blinded randomized ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

We've seen some pretty impressive results with brain-computer interfaces based on pincushion arrays of stiff electrodes. However, a major problem with these arrays is that they are temporary. Natural ...

Each year, thousands of stroke survivors are left with hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field (the “vertical midline”). Hemianopia severely affects daily activities ...

Deep brain stimulation can significantly reduce depressive symptoms in some individuals. Knowing what to expect before and after the procedure may help you determine if it’s right for you. Deep brain ...

Deep brain stimulation enhances memory, may ease Alzheimer's symptoms. Feb. 8, 2012— -- A new study suggests that driving electricity deep into the brain can boost memory, shedding light on a ...
