Neurobiologists from the University of California San Diego have discovered a “fear switch” in the brain and have figured out how to turn it off. While fear is often important in keeping us safe from harm, making us aware of dangerous situations and surroundings, it can also be debilitating if it

Scientists have for the first time created a non-invasive artificial intelligence (AI) system that can turn brainwaves into text without the use of implants. The new AI technology, called DeWave, only requires its users to wear a snug-fitting cap to turn their silent thoughts into text. Created

Scientists have once again voluntarily moved us a step closer to meeting our new robot overlords thanks to some new advances in artificial intelligence (AI). This time it was scientists at Indiana University who are the culprits. What they did was link living human brain cells to a computer and

A brain implant being developed by a team of Duke University neuroscientists may allow people to communicate using nothing but their thoughts. The implant is made up of 256 microscopic brain sensors placed onto a postage stamp-sized piece of flexible, medical-grade plastic, the researchers

A Russian scientist named Michael Raduga claims to have performed surgery on himself at home and implanted a chip into his brain. Raduga, who has no qualifications to perform neurosurgery, spent 10 hours using paper clips to hold his scalp in place while he bored a hole in his head with a
