Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Scientists have long known that the hippocampus is essential for forming new memories. It helps record where and when things happen. But how it processes what you see—like objects or images—has been a ...

Researchers have developed a new brain–computer interface that records neural signals from the brain’s lateral ventricle, a ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

A new deep-brain BCI from Tsinghua University uses the lateral ventricles to record neural signals. This "lantern" electrode ...

You can use up all the storage on your phone or max out your computer's drive, but can you use up all the memory space in your brain? Despite how you might feel before an exam or after a sleepless ...
