A back-poking robot can trigger presence hallucinations in people with Parkinson’s disease, giving researchers a way to finally study the phenomenon.

An experimental game that triggers auditory hallucinations in both mice and humans could lead to new treatments for schizophrenia.

Deep brain stimulation is being studied as a treatment for any number of neurological and psychological conditions. But what is it, exactly?

A new wireless brain-computer interface was able to record and transmit brain signals as effectively as the “gold standard” wired systems.

Calmer is a therapeutic bed for incubators that simulates a caregiver’s breathing and heartbeat to relieve stress in newborns.

Functional ultrasound tech can be used to map the brain activity of monkeys, suggesting it might be useful for future brain-machine interfaces.

After death, gene expression increases in the brain’s glial cells — and those “zombie” cells could affect how we study neurological disorders.

Researchers have created a “tiny machine” to better study brain organoids, clumps of stem cells that simulate the brain.

Saliva was used to diagnose concussions with 94% accuracy, suggesting that an objective concussion test may finally be within reach.
