Ultrasound enables less-invasive brain-machine interfaces

Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) are devices that can read brain activity and translate that activity to control an electronic device like a prosthetic arm or computer cursor. They promise to enable people with paralysis ...

Scientists create device that can isolate blood flow to brain

An experimental device that isolates blood flow to the brain has the potential to revolutionize brain research. The device redirects the brain's blood supply through a pump that maintains or adjusts a range of variables necessary ...

Mobile stroke units increase odds of averting stroke

Receiving a clot-busting drug in an ambulance-based mobile stroke unit (MSU) increases the likelihood of averting strokes and complete recovery compared with standard hospital emergency care, according to researchers at Weill ...

Scientists record powerful signal in the brain's white matter

The human brain is made up of two kinds of matter: the nerve cell bodies (gray matter), which process sensation, control voluntary movement, and enable speech, learning and cognition, and the axons (white matter), which connect ...
