Researchers are investigating how virtual reality can cause a fear response, but what if it could cure those fears instead?
Results for "brain"
Rice-sized robots maneuvered with magnetic fields
Researchers create swimming, moving, gripping miniature robots.
A robot that smiles back
Researchers teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, an ability that could build trust between humans and their robotic co-workers and care-givers.
Diagnosing malaria in the field with accurate and portable rapid tests
A new lab-on-chip technology enables the rapid and quantitative identification of malaria parasites in the blood for better and more accurate diagnosis in remote regions.
A biochip with organ-specific tissue models for advanced drug screening
A new biochip can quickly evaluate anticancer drug toxicity and penetration across an advanced blood–brain barrier model.
Step-closer to nasal spray drug delivery for Parkinson’s disease
A new drug-laden gel allows for better levels of uptake in both the blood and the brain.
Global warming is threatening animal cognition
With increasing heatwaves, wild animals’ ability to process and respond to environmental information may become compromised.
“Evolvable” synaptic transistors push the edge of neuromorphic computing
Researchers demonstrate the controlled growth of artificial synapses, paving the way for computers that can grow, evolve, and adapt like the human brain.
Polls indicate pausing the J&J vaccine was the right decision
While numbers indicate that the risks of COVID-19 still outweigh potential vaccine side effects, the current pause in vaccine distribution demonstrate the system is working and the public is onboard.
Trojan horse inspires novel treatment for Parkinson’s disease
In this study, a drug to treat Parkinson’s disease is linked to a molecule that enables it to better penetrate the brain.
