Maschinen mit dem Gehirn steuern - das ist in vielen Bereichen schon Realität und könnte Menschen mit Einschränkungen helfen, wieder am Leben teilzuhaben. Auch unsere Arbeitswelt wird sich durch die Technologie verändern.

NIH BRAIN Initiative-funded project could help people with paralysis to communicate.

Date Time Wearable brain scanner research to examine elderly drivers A wearable brain scanner is being used, for the first time, to investigate the brain activity in elderly people whilst driving a car. Research led by the University of Nottingham and funded by the UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing will explore how neural substrates underling cognitive processing whilst driving, change with age. Maintaining quality of life for elderly people is an increasing concern given the UK’s ...

Brain activity optical imaging aided by new implantable tool: Study ANI | Updated: Apr 24, 2021 22:37 IST Washington [US], April 24 (ANI): A nanophotonic technology was used by a team of researchers to develop a brain-implantable tool that can aid in the optical imaging of brain activity. The study was published in the journal Neurophotonics. Tools that allow neuroscientists to record and quantify functional activity within the living brain are in great dem...

Date Time Sugary drinks may affect long-term health of children 21 April A new neuroscientific study conducted by a team in the United States, comprising researchers from University of Southern California, University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Georgia, suggests that consuming sugary drinks doesn’t just lead to oral health issues, diabetes, obesity and heart disease but can deleteriously affect brain function in adulthood. Published in the journal Translational Psychiatr...

Date Time Joyful Screams Perceived More Strongly than Screams of Fear or Anger The human scream signals more than fear of imminent danger or entanglement in social conflicts. Screaming can also express joy or excitement. For the first time, researchers at the University of Zurich have demonstrated that non-alarming screams are even perceived and processed by the brain more efficiently than their alarming counterparts. When a person screams out in pleasure, other people perceive this more strong...

Tracking activity at near cellular resolution could reveal how different regions of the brain interact WASHINGTON – Researchers have developed a head-mounted miniature microscope that can be used to image activity from the entire outer part of the brain, or cortex, in freely behaving mice. When combined with implantable see-through skulls, the new microscope can capture the brain activity of mice for more than 300 days. Mice are often used to study the brain because they have many of the same...

Created using Canva.com, CC0 Multilingual people have trained their brains to learn languages, making it easier to acquire more new languages after mastering a second or third. In addition to demystifying the seemingly herculean genius of multilinguals, researchers say these results provide some of the first neuroscientific evidence that language skills are additive, a theory known as the cumulative‐enhancement model of language acquisition. “The traditional idea is, if you understand bilin...

Weekly roundup — From chocolate to cryptocurrencies Have people really gained more weight during the pandemic? How did brain researchers predict stock movements (or, by extension, cryptocurrency performance) an entire day in advance?
