The human brain, weighing roughly three pounds, runs the full spectrum of cognition, motor control, sensory processing, and ...

Cerebral blood flow is essential for normal brain function and often perturbed in neurological disease. If one shines a ...

A new study has demonstrated that a tiny bundle of optical fibers can continuously, accurately, and simultaneously measure six biomarkers of brain health, helping to prevent serious complications that ...

The newly developed “lab on a tube” is a catheter equipped with multiple sensors capable of continuously monitoring numerous physiological and biochemical changes in the brain, simultaneously. The ...

Despite all the attention on technologies that reduce the hands-on role of humans at work – such as self-driving vehicles, robot workers, artificial intelligence and so on – researchers in the field ...

Neural interfaces create a direct link between the brain and a device like a computer to enable communication, and the monitoring, recording, or stimulating of neural activity. These interfaces have a ...

Scientists at Penn State have come up with a new way to monitor brain activity using a hairlike EEG electrode. Instead of traditional metal electrodes, wires, and adhesive gels, this lightweight, ...

Simon Fraser University researchers hope that a brain vital-sign test becomes as routine during a doctor's check-up as taking a blood pressure or heart rate measurement. SFU researchers, led by ...
