Disembodiment of the head usually results in permanent death. But this could change in the future as scientists have managed to partially revive pig brains four hours after the animals were beheaded. A study conducted by Yale researchers, published in the journal Nature, shows that the death of brain cells could be halted as the cellular functions […]
Researchers from the University of Arkansas have observed an unexpected division of labor among the neurons in the motor cortex of the brain — a key finding that can help scientists explain how the brain controls the body. For the study, neurons in the motor cortex of rats were observed. These neurons fall into two groups: “externally […]
New research suggests that the controversial gene editing experiment ‘CRISPR,’ conducted by Chinese scientists, may have genetically altered the brain of the twins who had their genes edited last year before birth. The gene-editing tool CRISPR was used to delete the CCR5 gene from human embryos because the virus that causes AIDS requires the CCR5 […]
MIT Media Lab researchers call it AlterEgo headset. Though it sounds as bizarre as it can be but it is true that now you can type on the computer without even moving your fingers, simply by thinking about what you need to type. MIT Media Lab researchers have invented a ground-breaking computer interface that can translate […]
Short Bytes: With the increasing work in the field of brain-computer interfaces, we are witnessing a new kind of security risk of brainwave hacking. Nitesh Saxena from the University of Alabama at Birmingham has shown that malicious software can be used to guess passwords and other private data. By training its notorious algorithm using random text inputs, […]
