In a busy room full of talking people, most of us can still pick out one voice to focus on. This common yet complex task—known as the “cocktail party effect”—relies on the brain’s incredible ability ...

Scientists have developed a new AI algorithm that can separate brain patterns related to a particular behavior. This work promises to improve brain-computer interfaces and aid with the discovery of ...

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithms is helping to accelerate brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Published in this month’s Nature Neuroscience is new research that shows ...

People with spinal cord injuries often lose movement even though their brains still send the right signals. Researchers ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

People with spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work ...

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...

An individual may become completely paralyzed because of any number of accidents that interfere with the functioning of the nerves in their body. People who have lost the ability to walk due to spinal ...
