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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive way of using bioluminescent optogenetics to activate parts of the brain. University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG ...

Language learning is a fascinating and intricate process that has intrigued scholars and researchers for centuries. It is not only a means of communication but also a window into the complex workings ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

The thin, flexible, wireless device sits next to a quarter for scale. Device emits complex patterns of light (shown here as an "N") to transmit information directly to the brain. In a new leap for ...
