(A) Approximate brain size of human and macaque, which is a widely used experimental nonhuman primate. (B) Imaging methods for the detections of brain structure and function. (C) Different types of ...

Neuroengineers were able to map the locations and activity of up to 1 million potential synaptic links in a living brain thanks to a new 3D electrode array that records the split-second evolution of ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a ...

Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The ...

When we think of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that use electrodes, we usually think of Utah arrays that are placed directly on the brain during open brain surgery, or with thin electrodes spliced ...

The system moves an implanted electrode through the brain, while the electrode translates the data it collects to a computer, robot, or prosthetic limb.(click to enlarge) Mechanical engineers and ...

In the treatment of epilepsy and other neurological disorders, doctors will sometimes implant arrays of stimulating electrodes on the surface of a patient's brain. A new soft robotic system allows ...

A group of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, University of Freiburg and the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have created an exceptionally small implant, with ...
