SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — At a classroom outside Syracuse, students are doing more than just read about science. They’re actually hearing it. Students at Manlius Pebble Hill School are listening to ...

Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, in a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The ...

Researchers identify a neural "fingerprint" in the brain that predicts how accurately we can size up the intentions and strategies of others.

China has taken a major step into the emerging field of neurotechnology by approving its first implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) device for commercial medical use. The approval was granted by ...

To enable more accurate estimation of connectivity, we propose a data-driven and theoretically grounded framework for optimally designing perturbation inputs, based on formulating the neural model as ...

Making a living brain transparent and watching its neurons fire without disturbing their function-sounds like science fiction ...
