Similar to auditory perception when listening to music, imagining a song in your head also produces neuronal signals in specific regions of the brain. Understanding how the brain encodes such ...

Stanford University researchers funded by DARPA’s Neuro Function, Activity, Structure, and Technology (Neuro-FAST) program have developed new optical imaging and analysis techniques that allowed them ...

What was once the realm of science fiction and grifters who claim to have psychic powers takes another step towards reality as a team of researchers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ...

The majority of brain-machine interface (BMI) studies have focused on decoding intended movements based on neural activity of primary motor (M1) and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd). The ventral premotor ...

Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

Associating brain systems with mental processes requires statistical analysis of brain activity across many cognitive processes. These analyses typically face a difficult compromise between scope—from ...

Aging is a complex biological process that also takes place in the brain. Researchers have discovered that the gene activity changes in different cell types in the brain. A certain type of neuron is ...
