Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates off-target cells and limits resolution. A new microneedle electrode design ...

With the introduction of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's disease, new questions emerge regarding who, why, and how to treat. This paper outlines the pathophysiological rationale ...

Scientists have discovered how to make people less selfish - slightly and temporarily - by stimulating two areas of the brain ...

Stimulation of the visual cortex of the brain for 20 minutes with a mild electrical current can improve vision for about two hours, and those with worse vision improve the most, according to a ...

A more precise and personalized form of electric brain stimulation may be a more effective and faster treatment for people with moderate to major depression compared to other similar treatments, ...

Researchers noted that they did not directly record brain activity during the experiment, so they can’t draw a direct ...

A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how ...

A new study suggests that a promising noninvasive brain stimulation technique may not function exactly as psychiatrists had ...

Living with a brain disorder often means relying on medication that does not work for everyone and, in some cases, surgery. EU-funded researchers are now investigating whether nanotechnology could one ...
