(Medical Xpress)—Noninvasive recording of electroencephalograms has applications in neurology, health and brain-computer interfaces. But existing technologies come with drawbacks that preclude their use for extended periods ...
The fantastic mechanical isolation of the brain in the skull, makes high impact maneuvers, like heading a soccer ball, routine for an organ that would otherwise barely hold up under its own weight. The downside of this level ...
In an ongoing clinical trial, a paralyzed woman was able to reach for and sip from a drink on her own – for the first time in nearly 15 years – by using her thoughts to direct a robotic arm. The trial is evaluating ...
