Andreas Schaefer and Francis Crick Institute colleagues have developed a brain mapping technique that is said to be far more comprehensive than previous methods, and could be a breakthrough if successfully tested on human...
Wake Forest’s Charles H. Tegeler has found that non-invasive brainwave mirroring technology significantly reduced symptoms of post-traumatic stress in soldiers. High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM) is used as a non-invasive, closed-loop, acoustic stimulation...

Tao Sun, Nathan McDannold, Eric Miller and Brigham & Women’s and Tufts colleagues have developed a controller that offers a finer degree of control in penetrating the blood brain barrier for drug delivery. The technology,...
In a small study, USC’s Dong Song demonstrated the efficacy of an implantable “memory prosthesis.” Dr. Song presented his work at the Society for Neuroscience conference in Washington this week. 20 volunteers had the device...
MIT’s Ed Boyden and Paris Descartes University’s Valentina Emiliani have developed a new optogenetic technique, combined with new opsins, that stimulates individual cells with precise control over both the timing and location of the activation. This will...
Neuropixels, developed by HHMI’s Tim Harris, are electrodes that record brain activity from hundreds of neurons. Previously, it was not possible to measure the joint activity of individual neurons distributed across brain regions. Recording methods...
David Brent and PIttsburgh and Carnegie Mellon colleagues used machine learning to identify suicidal thoughts in subjects based on fMRI scans. In a recent study, 18 suicidal participants and 18 members of a control...

Cristof Koch and Allen Institute colleagues have created 3D computer reconstructions of living human brain cells using discarded surgical tissue. As the tissue is still alive when it reaches the lab, the virtual cells are...
