Detection of common EEG phenomena using individual electrodes placed outside the hair
Many studies over the past decades have provided exciting evidence that electrical signals recorded from the scalp (electroencephalogram, EEG) hold meaningful information about the brain’s function or dysfunction. This information is used routinely in research laboratories to test specific hypotheses and in clinical settings to aid in diagnoses (such as during polysomnography evaluations). Unfortunately, such […]

Attention, Focus, and a High Risk of Alzheimer’s
According to the National Institutes of Health, Alzheimer’s affects more than 6 million Americans, mostly ages 65 and older. Though the neurological damage from the disease is irreversible, its progression can be slowed by early interventions such as exercise and nutrition regimens. The primary method to measure an individual’s risk of developing the disease is […]

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. Many BMIs require invasive surgeries to implant electrodes into the brain in order to read neural activity. However, in 2021, Caltech researchers developed a way to read brain activity […]

Newly Discovered Brain Circuit Controls An Aversion to Salty Tastes
Having the right amount of sodium in your body is so crucial, in fact, that parts of your brain work hard to make sure you’re getting the salt that you need. If you’ve ever been hit by a sudden craving for potato chips, that may have been your brain at work. On the other hand, […]
