Spatio-temporal evolution of human neural activity during visually cued hand movements
Making hand movements in response to visual cues is common in daily life. It has been well known that this process activates multiple areas in the brain, but how these neural activations progress across space and time remains largely unknown. Taking advantage of intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings using depth and subdural electrodes from 36 human […]

Unexpected sound omissions are signaled in human posterior superior temporal gyrus: an intracranial study
Our brains are excellent at making predictions about what we should hear next, based on context. These predictions help us understand and interact with our surroundings. For example, when listening to a melody, we may predict the next note in a sequence. Dr. Gerwin Schalk, Director of the Chen Frontier Lab for Applied Neurotechnology, and […]

Scientists Create Embryo-Like Model that Mimics Post-Implantation Stage of Human Development
The human body and all its complexity arise from just a small collection of cells that divide and morph into different types of tissues. But exactly how this occurs is hard to study because embryos are hidden inside their mothers. Some embryos are donated to science by individuals who have undergone in vitro fertilization, but […]
