Scientists have built a soft, wireless Implant that lets the brain interpret patterned light as if it were a new kind of touch, turning beams into information the cortex can actually use. Instead of ...

In a discovery that sounds like science fiction, researchers have shown that human brains emit flashes of light that can pass through the skull. These signals are so tiny and faint that they're a ...

The researchers also ran detailed computer simulations to predict how light would move through the complex layers of the head. These simulations matched the experimental results closely, confirming ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...
