The State of Brain-Machine Interfaces — Prof. Maryam Shanechi
Maryam shanechi, university of southern california.
With recent technological advances, we can now record neural activity from the brain, and manipulate this activity with electrical or optogenetic stimulation in real time. These capabilities have brought the concept of brain-machine interfaces (BMI) closer to clinical viability than ever before. BMIs are systems that monitor and interact with the brain to restore lost function, treat neurological disorders, or enhance human performance.

The most important lesson from 83,000 brain scans | Daniel Amen | TEDxOrangeCoast

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Living in a culture dependant upon caffeine and lack of sleep, its important to remember that sleep offers an incredibly important biological function
One night of sleep deprivation is tied to Alzheimer’s disease.
For the past few years researchers have shown that the brain flushes out neurotoxins during the period people are sleeping.

Oxygen therapy miraculously reverses toddler’s brain damage
This toddler was underwater for 15 minutes, leaving her brain seriously damaged —until scientists were able to completely reverse the damage with this incredible treatment.
These beautiful works of art illustrate the brain’s complexity
Art is sometimes the easiest way of understanding the mysterious and unknowable.
The Art of Neuroscience competition, organized by the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, solicited entries from around the world to help “make the research from neuroscience labs more tangible…[and] for scientists to evaluate their own work from a different perspective.” The recognized entries come from practicing scientists presenting their work in creative ways as well as artists who have collaborated with scientists.
The work illustrates both the physical complexity of human brains—and the sensitivity of our mental conditions.
