The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...

The Challenge with BCIs: Inflammation, scarring, and programmed cell death undermine performance over time Implantable electrodes within the brain have enabled remarkable achievements—e.g., paralyzed ...

Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have already shown promise in helping people with paralysis operate devices like robotic arms or computer cursors. In recent years, BCIs have been trained to decode ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. We stand at the cusp of a massive technology paradigm shift that ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jason Alan Snyder is a technologist covering AI and innovation. New research shows brain-computer interfaces can decode inner ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

B rain implants can provide important insights into the nervous system and even relieve the symptoms of brain diseases. But getting implants into a patient’s head is an operation fraught with risks of ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...
