New Technology Opens Up PC World To Disabled
Researchers at the University of Ulster have developed new technology that could revolutionize the quality of life for the disabled. The Look Device allows individuals with severe physical impairments to control the operation of a computer cursor solely with the movement of their eyes. A set of customised spectacles, with built in sensors,... view more... (2002-11-12)
The Ageing Brain
Is mental decline in old age inevitable? If mental decline can be avoided what is available to stimulate the active minds of the elderly? Would the use of computer-generated simulation of reality be an ethical way to provide for an increased population of mentally active old people? The Ageing Brain provides the first popular, comprehensive and... view more... (2001-07-10)
Everything in its place: Researchers identify brain cells used to categorize images
Socks in the sock drawer, shirts in the shirt drawer, the time-honored lessons of helping organize one's clothes learned in youth. But what parts of the brain are used to encode such categories as socks, shirts or any other item, and how does such learning take place? view more (2006-08-28)
Seeing what we are thinking
At last we can see ourselves thinking, using the technique known as functional brain imaging (fMRI), and some of the exciting developments in this field were described in a series of papers presented today, Thursday 29 March, at The British Psychological Society's Centenary Annual Conference, held at the SECC, Glasgow. Dr Adrian Owen, of the... view more... (2001-03-26)
Breast cancer subtypes linked to survival from secondary brain tumors
Screening breast cancers for three receptors could help doctors predict the likely survival of patients with brain metastases. view more (2008-02-28)
Gene variations linked to brain aneurysms
Variations in a gene seem to be linked to brain (cerebral) aneurysms, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2006-04-27)
Hooks hijacked? New research shows how to block stealthy malware attacks
The spread of malicious software, also known as malware or computer viruses, is a growing problem that can lead to crashed computer systems, stolen personal information, and billions of dollars in lost productivity every year. view more (2009-11-03)
Researchers identify a cell type that limits stroke damage
A research team including Serge Rivest of University Laval's Faculty of Medicine has demonstrated the existence of a type of cells that limits brain damage after a stroke. The study was recently published in the online version of Nature Medicine. view more (2009-01-28)
Computers pass dosage test for thrombosis drugs
The largest ever study into the administration of blood thinning drugs like Warfarin has concluded that dosages calculated by computer are at least as safe and reliable as those provided by trained medical professionals. view more (2007-07-20)
Boston University psychologists find neurological mechanism for subliminal learning
Watch out - you may learn something and not even know it, says Takeo Watanabe, an associate professor of psychology at Boston University's Center for Brain and Memory. Watanabe and his team recently pinpointed the mechanism that makes subliminal learning work. Watanabe will present the team's findings at the American Psychological Society meeting... view more...

Changes in brain density can help predict schizophrenia
Changes in brain density could be used to predict whether an individual who is at risk for schizophrenia is likely to develop the condition or not. view more (2006-12-07)
Good information? It's not all about the brain
An Indiana University neuroscientist and University of Tokyo roboticist have figured out a way to model the popularly accepted idea that it takes all types of sensory information to help us make sense of our environments. view more (2006-10-27)
Computer model can predict human behavior and learning
A computer model that can predict how people will complete a controlled task and how the knowledge needed to complete that task develops over time is the product of a group of researchers, led by a professor from Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology. view more (2008-11-10)
Preventing overload in the brain
Brain researchers in Amsterdam have observed a double control system in the hippocampus. This double control system contributes to the memory and ensures that the brain does not `crash`, as is the case during an epileptic seizure. The neurobiologists from the University of Amsterdam carried out their observations on the hippocampus of rats. The... view more... (2002-01-29)
Hebrew University Scientist Co-directing European Research Project For Internet Of Future
As the volume of "traffic" on the Internet grows at an enormous rate - estimates are that it is doubling every year - scientists in several countries have begun working to measure this incremental growth and to devise methods for more efficient means for future networking. One major project is EVERGROW, a European Union-funded program... view more... (2004-03-15)
Scientists identify brain regions that decide where we look
Scientists have found the brain regions that decide where we look, and where to direct our eyes when we're faced with a difficult choice, such as looking someone straight in the eye or looking away. view more (2005-01-24)
Seven-figure Funding To Develop Future Of Computing
The University of Abertay Dundee has been named as a key member of an international project, to develop new ways of delivering computer applications via the internet. The 2.8 million euros (£1.8 million) scheme will see academics and business people from across Europe work together to develop the technology, which is set to revolutionise the... view more...

UBC scientist unveils secret of newborn's first words
A new study could explain why "daddy" and "mommy" are often a baby's first words - the human brain may be hard-wired to recognize certain repetition patterns. view more (2008-08-27)
Magnetic brain stimulation improves skill learning
The use of magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) region of the brain results in an improved ability to learn a skilled motor task. view more (2009-07-07)
Parts of brain involved in social cognition may be in place by age 6
Social cognition-the ability to think about the minds and mental states of others-is essential for human beings. In the last decade, a group of regions has been discovered in the human brain that are specifically used for social cognition. view more (2009-07-15)
