Scientists have built a soft, wireless Implant that lets the brain interpret patterned light as if it were a new kind of touch, turning beams into information the cortex can actually use. Instead of ...

For decades, scientists have worked to peer deeper into the brain. They have wanted to see not just surface activity in the cortex but also the hidden layers beneath, such as the hippocampus, where ...

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

It uses light to send information directly to the brain - bypassing the body’s natural sensory pathways - in what scientists are hailing at a "leap" for neurobiology and bioelectronics. The implant ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...
