Neurobots: Robots Controlled by Brain Simulations
on Nov 10, 2009 in Neurobots Researchers have been developing robots that are powered by better artificial brains. They have recently created a computer neural simulation consisting of 6,700 neurons with approximately 1.3 million synaptic connections. This technology builds on...
Neural Interface
on Oct 25, 2009 in Brain-Computer Interface I found some more information about the HIVE project. A presentation was given November of last year discussing the potential of computer controlled brain stimulation (see PDF). The researchers definitely appear to have an eye towards some more fut...
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for Brain Research
on Oct 10, 2009 in GPU Graphics Processing Units (GPU) are commonly used to power video game software. However, they are also finding use for a more diverse array of scientific research as well. A GPU conference has recently taken place discussing some of the application...
Electron Microscope to Image Living Cells
on Oct 6, 2009 in Electron Microscopy I have previously mentioned about increasing the resolving power of light based microscopes in order to better image living tissue. Electron microscopes have an even greater ability to view finer details. The only problem is that focused electron b...
Brain-Computer Interface and the Wireless Neurosociety
on Oct 2, 2009 in Brain-Computer Interface Investigators have been creating superior wireless brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Being able to shed wires has the promise of enhancing the usability of these devices for those with disabilities. As time goes forward we may increasingly become a...
Transformative Brain Projects
on Sep 24, 2009 in Brain Mapping There are a couple new "transformative" brain projects that will begin soon. Neuroscience grants have been awarded to two people in order to further our understanding of how the mind functions. Here's an excerpt about the first project (connectome)...
