Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

Neuroscientists and engineers at Stanford University are trying to design better brain-controlled prosthetic limbs. In a groundbreaking new study the researchers have discovered that the brain has two ...

An individual may become completely paralyzed because of any number of accidents that interfere with the functioning of the nerves in their body. People who have lost the ability to walk due to spinal ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

The human brain is a mysterious supercomputer. Billions of neurons buzz within an intricate network that controls our every thought, feeling, and movement. And we've only just begun to understand how ...

Astronauts are Returning to Earth with Alarming Brain Changes According to New Research ...

The brain is our body’s command center, the control tower for our body and mind—no wonder it’s the focus of intense research across the globe, with so much interest in figuring out the mysteries of ...

Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...

Imagine waking up thirsty at night and having to reach for a glass of water in the dark. Without a clear view, your brain has to estimate where the glass is and where your hand is - a challenge that ...
