Number of COVID-19 infections missed by lateral flow tests 'substantial enough to be of clinical importance'
The proportion of people with current COVID-19 infection missed by the Innova lateral flow test (LFT) is substantial enough to be of clinical importance, particularly when testing people without symptoms, warn experts in ...

An ocean in your brain: Interacting brain waves key to how we process information
For years, the brain has been thought of as a biological computer that processes information through traditional circuits, whereby data zips straight from one cell to another. While that model is still accurate, a new study ...
