    Universal Brain-Computer Interface lets People Play Games with just their Thoughts

    Hussein Alawieh, a graduate student in Dr. José del R. Millán’s lab, wears a cap packed with electrodes that is hooked up to a computer. The electrodes gather data by measuring electrical signals from the brain, and the decoder interprets that information and translates it into game action.

    Engineers have created a brain-computer interface that doesn’t require calibration for each user, paving the way for widespread clinical applicability.

    Imagine playing a racing game like Mario Kart, using only your brain to execute the complex series of turns in a lap.

    This is not a video game fantasy, but a real program that engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have created as part of research into brain-computer interfaces to help improve the lives of people with motor disabiliti...

    Neural Plasticity depends on this long Noncoding RNA’s Journey from Nucleus to Synapse

    April 19, 2021, Categories  Biology/Biotechnology, Health/Medical

    When the brain’s synapses are activated, they set off a signaling cascade that results in the expression of long noncoding RNA called “ADEPTR.” The RNA is quickly transported along dendrites to synapses, where it acts on proteins involved in remodeling.

    Making memories involves more than seeing friends or taking photos. The brain constantly adapts to new information and stores memories by building connections among neurons, called synapses. How neurons do this — reaching out arm-like dendrites to communicate with other neurons — requires a ballet of genes, signaling molecules, cellular scaffolding and protein-building machinery.

    A new study from scientists at Scripps Research and the Max P...
