I n February Cortical Labs, an Australian startup, announced that a programmer had taught one of its “biological ...

As traditional computer chips reach their physical limits and artificial intelligence demands more energy than ever, ...

Orange-arrow loop: Intracranial electrophysiological data are captured by macro-microelectrodes from the subject’s brain and streamed to the data acquisition device and a host computer, where the data ...

An AI startup has built a virtual fruit fly powered by a digital brain model that drives real-like behaviour, hinting at early brain emulation tech.

The device could help address multiple neurological conditions if it proves successful. One early use could be delivering gentle electrical stimulation to damaged brain or spinal cord cells to ...

A tragic accident robbed Mr. Deng of his mobility and his hope for life, until he underwent a life-changing brain-computer interface (BCI) surgery. How is this cutting-edge tech restoring hope to ...

A few weeks ago, a research paper out of MIT (the college) crossed my desk that most investors would have ignored.It was about worms. Specifically, it was about a team that had successfully mapped the ...
