Optoelectronic interface for stimulating neural networks in the brain

Lobachevsky University scientists, together with colleagues from the Technical University of Madrid (Spain), have first proposed and developed an optoelectronic interface for the interaction of electronic neuron-like generators with live brain neurons In the past few decades, research aimed at finding approaches to restoring brain function has increased exponentially. An interdisciplinary approach to the task Read more about Optoelectronic interface for stimulating neural networks in the brain[…]

Boosting Synaptic Plasticity to Accelerate Learning

The body’s branching network of peripheral nerves connects neurons in the brain and spinal cord to organs, skin, and muscles, regulating a host of biological functions from digestion to sensation to locomotion. But the peripheral nervous system can do even more than that, which is why DARPA already has research programs underway to harness it Read more about Boosting Synaptic Plasticity to Accelerate Learning[…]
