The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a minimally invasive method for recording brain activity through blood vessels. Their article, "Microendovascular Neural Recording from Cortical ...

Catheterization of a superficial cortical vein with a wire-shaped microelectrode for intravascular EEG recording. Osaka, Japan – Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a groundbreaking, ...

As its whiskers flitter, the mouse’s brain sparks with activity. A tiny implant records the electrical chatter and beams it to a nearby computer. Smaller than a grain of salt, the implant is powered ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The new BCI solution has been implanted in over 50 patients.

Graphene-based transistors enable a flexible neural probe with excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Such probes are useful for examining neural activity for understanding diseases, as well as in ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

To clinically measure electrical activity within the brain, healthcare professionals conduct an electroencephalogram (EEG). This requires setting up 20 electrodes around the head with conductive gels ...
