Scientists have built a soft, wireless Implant that lets the brain interpret patterned light as if it were a new kind of touch, turning beams into information the cortex can actually use. Instead of ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have made their mark on medtech and Ability Neurotech hopes that its platform's unique ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

In 2021 the Rogers Group developed what was said to be the first fully implantable, programmable, wireless, battery-free ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

Artificial light has extended our days, but it is also quietly reshaping how our brains and hearts function at night. A growing body of research now links bright bedrooms, glowing streets and ...
