Imagine having an electrode embedded in your brain in a surgical procedure that involves drilling holes in your skull to implant it. Now imagine going through an MRI scan for medical evaluation, when ...

What happens in the brain when a person experiences the characteristic movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease? Researchers ...

Although conditions such as epilepsy and chronic pain can be treated via nerve-stimulating implanted electrodes, those electrodes are stiff, expensive and require surgery to implant. Scientists have ...

Measuring brain activity is a useful technique for diagnosing epilepsy and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Among the several approaches adopted, electroencephalography (EEG) is the least invasive.

Specific nerves may be stimulated artificially, for example to treat pain. The finer the nerves, the more difficult it is to attach the required electrodes. Researchers at the Technical University of ...

For years, researchers have been helping paralyzed people walk by stimulating their spinal cords. Now, a team of Swiss scientists has improved upon that effort, enabling three patients with spinal ...

Neural stimulation is a pioneering technology that can be used to recover function and improve the quality of life for individuals who suffer from brain injury or disease. It serves an integral role ...

Scientists have detailed a less invasive method of neural stimulation that would use an untethered ultrasmall electrode activated by light, a technique that may mitigate damage done by current methods ...

Measuring brain activity can help with the diagnosis of epilepsy and other neuropsychiatric diseases. Electroencephalography (EEG) is the least invasive of the methods used. Electrodes are frequently ...
