Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

The technology to decode our thoughts is drawing ever closer. Neuroscientists at the University of Texas have for the first time decoded data from non-invasive brain scans and used them to reconstruct ...

Language is more strongly controlled by the left half of the brain, while other functions are more strongly controlled by the ...

A mind-reading device seems like science fiction, but researchers say they're firmly on the path to building one. Using functional MRI (fMRI), a newly developed brain-computer interface can read a ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

In a new article appearing in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by Cory Shain and Hope Kean, explore how the human brain shows ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

My weekly language classes have taught me humility more than anything else. Ayaka Ono, my current Japanese teacher, estimates ...
