It sounds like science fiction, but the system could help people with brain or spinal cord injuries regain lost abilities. In 2020, Keith Thomas dived into a pool and snapped his spine. The accident ...

A unique study imaging brain activity in children born with upper limb difference—for example, one hand—has shown the amazing ...

The cover of the new book "Whole-brain modeling. Cartography of the dynamics of mind" poses the central question of what makes us human. Written by Professors Gustavo Deco and Morten L Kringelbach and ...

The human brain continues to surprise scientists. From how it learns to the fact that our brains glow, there's a lot we have yet to learn about the inner workings of the human brain. One especially ...
