Computer obeys thoughts via Brain-Computer Interface
A research group led by Academy Professor Mikko Sams is developing a brain-computer interface, a device that transforms electrical or magnetic brain signals into commands a computer can understand. Equipment of this kind is necessary. For instance, it enables physically disabled persons to use a computer keyboard. The Brain-Computer Interface, or... view more... (2005-03-02)
Virtual reality and computer technology improve stroke rehabilitation
Israeli hospitals have recently started to use virtual reality therapy for stroke patients. One commonly used program has the patient watch his virtual image on a screen. view more (2008-03-11)
Electronic chip, interacting with the brain, modifies pathways for controlling movement
Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) are working on an implantable electronic chip that may help establish new nerve connections in the part of the brain that controls movement. view more (2006-10-25)
Thinking about moving? Let brain waves do the walking
Using brain waves to control screen cursor movements, rather than moving a mouse by hand, seems like science fiction! Yet such direct control over our environment is an integral part of the development work being undertaken by participants in the Presencia project. view more (2004-12-02)
New way to help diagnose dementia
A new way of interpreting 3D images of the brain has opened up the possibility of doctors being able to distinguish between Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain diseases. Doctors need to be able to diagnose the correct disease accurately and as early as possible to implement the most appropriate treatment. The work is being... view more... (2000-08-01)
Mobile phones and the inner ear
A new technique has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands to look at the effect of radiation from mobile phones on complex structures like the inner ear and eye. The technique called `quasistatic zooming` will help researchers calculate the amount of radiation from mobile phones absorbed by human tissue on scales of less than one... view more... (2002-04-26)
Ground-breaking research to develop 'conscious' robot
Researchers at the Universities of Essex and Bristol will soon be launching a ground-breaking project to develop a 'conscious' robot. The aim of the project, which involves computer scientists and neuropsychologists, is to advance the technology of intelligent machines, while also extending the understanding of human consciousness. Owen Holland,... view more... (2003-08-22)
Towards zero training for brain-computer interfacing
While invasive electrode recordings in humans show long-term promise, non-invasive techniques can also provide effective brain-computer interfacing (BCI) and localization of motor activity in the brain for paralyzed patients with significantly reduced risks and costs as well as novel applications for healthy users. view more (2008-08-13)
Computer Model Shows Changes in Brain Mechanisms for Cocaine Addicts
About 2 million Americans currently use cocaine for its temporary side-effects of euphoria, which have contributed to making it one of the most dangerous and addictive drugs in the country. view more (2009-09-23)
University footballers in training for World Cup
Staff in the University of Plymouth`s School of Computing and Department of Communication & Electronic Engineering (DCEE) are busy preparing to represent England in the FIRA 2002 (International Federation of Robot Soccer Associations) Robot Football World Cup, taking place in Korea next week. The University team, widely acknowledged as the... view more... (2002-05-17)
Implementing Computer Assisted Learning into the Chemistry Curriculum
The idea of using a computer as a pedagogic device is not new. However, until recently, hardware and software costs put computer assisted learning (CAL) out of the reach of many academics. In addition, early courseware paid little attention to human-computer interface issues, resulting in CAL which was difficult to use and understand. There are... view more... (1999-05-17)
Researchers develop neural implant that learns with the brain
Devices known as brain-machine interfaces could someday be used routinely to help paralyzed patients and amputees control prosthetic limbs with just their thoughts. Now, University of Florida researchers have taken the concept a step further, devising a way for computerized devices not only to translate brain signals into movement but also to... view more...

Dynamic brain atlas may help diagnose patients using advanced brain scans
Scientists have today unveiled new technology that may one day help doctors identify subtle brain abnormalities that underly major diseases including many psychiatric disorders and dementia. view more (2002-04-25)
Brain implants may help stroke patients overcome partial paralysis
Scientists have shown for the first time that neuroprosthetic brain implants may be able to help stroke patients with partial paralysis. view more (2008-11-12)
Microscopic brain damage detected in early Alzheimer's disease
Researchers have developed a new computer-aided analysis technique to identify early cellular damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). view more (2006-09-26)
Carnegie Mellon study identifies where thoughts of familiar objects occur inside the human brain
A team of Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists and cognitive neuroscientists, combining methods of machine learning and brain imaging, have found a way to identify where people's thoughts and perceptions of familiar objects originate in the brain by identifying the patterns of brain activity associated with the objects. view more (2008-01-03)
Canadian scientists read minds with infrared scan
Researchers at Canada's largest children's rehabilitation hospital have developed a technique that uses infrared light brain imaging to decode preference - with the goal of ultimately opening the world of choice to children who can't speak or move. view more (2009-02-11)
A Computer That Can 'Read' Your Mind
For centuries, the concept of mind readers was strictly the domain of folklore and science fiction. But according to new research published today in the journal Science, scientists are closer to knowing how specific thoughts activate our brains. The findings demonstrate the power of computational modeling to improve our understanding of how the... view more... (2008-06-03)
Bigger not necessarily better, when it comes to brains
Tiny insects could be as intelligent as much bigger animals, despite only having a brain the size of a pinhead, say scientists at Queen Mary, University of London. view more (2009-11-18)
Human Brain Connectivity Mapping
The unique connectivity pattern of a brain region determines the type of information available to it, and hence influences its function. Defining these patterns enhances our knowledge of human brain architecture and function. Non-invasive in vivo definition of brain connectivity patterns complements functional imaging and provides new... view more... (2004-09-23)
