Major European Effort to Advance Brain-Computer Interfaces 🧠💡 We’ve teamed up with 15 European partners to launch DONUT (European Doctoral Network for Neural Prostheses and Brain Research), pushing the boundaries of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. This initiative marks a significant investment in EEG technology for continuous brain signal measurement. Our colleagues from the biomedical section, Milad Zamani from the electronics and photonics section and kaare mikkelsen and Simon L. Kappel, are focused on designing integrated circuits and systems to make EEG technology smaller, more efficient, and user-friendly. The project has the potential to enhance rehabilitation, diagnostics and even early detection of neurological conditions like #Alzheimer's and #Parkinson's.

Brain-computer interfaces have allowed paralysed patients to move a computer mouse or speak through a neuroprosthesis. Much attention has been given to Elon Musk's Neuralink, which allowed a paralysed man to play computer games with his mind (although this study has not yet been published). But brain implants are costly and come with risks, and so the future may lie in non-invasive brain-computer interfaces that can decode brain signals, with upcoming clinical trials testing these devices in patient's homes, rather than in the artificial environment of the laboratory.

Ever Wonder How MRI Machines Create Such Detailed Images? Here’s a detailed breakdown of the key concepts of MRI : Active Nucleus in MRI: What is it? Certain atomic nuclei, like hydrogen, are naturally magnetic and react in a magnetic field. Why it matters? These nuclei are what MRI scanners detect and use to create images. Magnetic Field and Spin: What is it? Nuclei have a property called spin, and when placed in a magnetic field, they align in a certain way. Why it matters? The alignment of these spins is crucial for creating MRI signals. Resonance Frequency: What is it? This is the specific frequency at which nuclei absorb and emit energy. Why it matters? This frequency, called the Larmor frequency, is used to excite the nuclei during an MRI scan. RF Pulses and Excitation: What is it? Radiofrequency (RF) pulses are used to disturb the alignment of the spins. Why it matters? This disturbance is necessary to produce signals that the MRI can detect. Signal Generation: What is it? After the RF pulse, nuclei return to their original state, releasing energy in the process. Why it matters? The released energy is captured by the MRI machine to create an image. T1 and T2 Relaxation: What is it? T1 is the time it takes for nuclei to return to alignment with the magnetic field. T2 is the time it takes for spins to lose phase coherence. Why it matters? These times affect the contrast and quality of MRI images. Image Formation: What is it? MRI machines use the signals from the nuclei to construct detailed images of the inside of the body. Why it matters? This process allows to see inside the body without surgery. _________________________________________________ Want to Learn More?

#ScienceDailynews #InnovativeResearch #NextGenScience #ExploringFrontiersNew technique visualizes mechanical structure of the cell nucleus . The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new technique that provides a previously unattainable view of the mechanical properties inside this control center. For the first time, it has been possible to visualize over time its peculiar dynamic structural features in living cells, which appear to be crucial for cell function.

More about the Brain and, in particular, Deep Brain Activity Recording. A sensor manufacturing technique developed by researchers at UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering Integrated Electronics and Biointerfaces Laboratory (IEBL) sets out to transform clinical recording of deep brain activity. Published in Nature Communications, their approach enables minimally invasive, high-resolution monitoring of neuronal activity as deep as 10cm/4in inside the human brain. This technology can record with up to 128 channels, a significant advancement over the current 8 to 16 channels, and is scalable to thousands of channels for future applications. This advancement is crucial for patients with conditions like treatment-resistant epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders, offering a path toward extended wireless monitoring and potential therapeutic electrical stimulation. Keep your mind on us and the team being led by Shadi Dayeh. More about this work can be found in this recent press: https://lnkd.in/g9dxnyXu #BrainResearch #Neuroscience #UCSanDiego #Innovation

#World's Most #Powerful #MRI Scans #FirstImages Of #HumanBrain In #Unprecedented #Detail ! (1) The #CEA (the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) unveiled, for the #FirstTime worldwide, a series of #BrainImages obtained with the #Iseult #MRIScanner at a level of #Resolution NEVER before #Achieved. #Iseult is equipped with an #Unparalleled #MagneticField of 11.7 Tesla, which makes it the #World’s MOST #Powerful #MRIScanner. It aims to help #Scientists discover #NewDetails about the #Brain’s #Connections, and #Activity. (2) #Researchers at #France's Atomic Energy Commission (#CEA) first used the #Machine to scan a #Pumpkin (so #Chosen because of its #Similarity in #Size & #WaterRich #InternalConsistency to #HumanBrain) back in 2021. But #HealthAuthorities recently gave them the #GreenLight to scan #HumanBrians. (3) Over the past few months, around #20Healthy #Volunteers have become the FIRST to enter the #Maw of the #MagneticResonanceImaging (#MRI) machine, which is located in the #PlateaudeSaclay area south of #Paris, home to many technology companies and universities. (4) The #MagneticField created by the #MRIScanner is a whopping 11.7 Teslas, a #Unit of #Measurement named after #Inventor NIKOLA-Tesla. This #Power allows the machine to #Scan images with #10Times MORE #Precision than the #MRIs commonly used in #Hospitals, whose power does NOT normally exceed #ThreeTeslas. (5) "With this #Machine, we can see the #TinyVessels which feed the #CerebralCortex, or #Details of the #Cerebellum which were almost #Invisible until now," says Alexandre-VIGNAUD, a #Physicist working on the #Project. (6) Inside a #Cylinder that is #FivesMetres (#16feet) long and tall, the #Machine houses a #132Tonne #Magnet powered by a #Coil carrying a #Current of #1500amps. There is a #90centimetre (#ThreeFoot) #Opening for #Humans to slide into. The #Design is the #Result of #TwoDecades of #Research by a partnership between #French and #German #Engineers. (7) According to PIERRE-Védrine, #Physicist and #Specialist in #SuperconductingMagnets, “The #Material of the #Magnet is #Niobium-#Titanium used at a #Temperature of -271°C. This is a #Material commonly used in #MRIs but which has been pushed to its #Limits because the #MagneticField of 11.7 Tesla is at the #Limit of what can be achieved with this #Material.” (8) In the absence of a #MagneticField, the small #Microscopic #Magnets associated with #Atoms point in #Random directions, it’s complete #Chaos. When all this is placed within an #MRI with a #MagneticField, it aligns #Harmoniously to provide a #MeasurableSignal. The #Higher this #MagneticField, the more #Amplified the #Response, and we can monetize this response with #GreaterResolution and #Clarity in the #Images. https://lnkd.in/g2hBqTNA

Stanford engineers have miniaturized powerful titanium-sapphire lasers, making them significantly cheaper and smaller. These lasers, previously large and expensive, are crucial for various scientific fields. Traditional titanium-sapphire lasers are bulky and costly, limiting their use. Stanford researchers created a chip-sized version thousands of times smaller and cheaper. This miniaturization opens doors for wider applications in quantum optics, neuroscience, and other fields. The new laser can be powered by a simple green laser pointer. Mass production could put thousands of these lasers on a single disc. Potential applications include miniaturized tools for optogenetics and ophthalmology.
