Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The device has potential applications in a wide range of neurological conditions such as treatment-resistant epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic pain.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTag

Transparent neural implant provides window to deeper brain activity
Posted by ArielTechGeek 300 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have created a thin transparent neural implant that can monitor activity on the brain's surface but also account for functions at a deeper level. The hope is that it will lead to an accurate but less invasive brain-computer interface.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Neural Network, Machine Learning, Neurological, Brain-computer interface, Brain, UC San Diego

Short bursts of (gym-free) daily physical activity reduce cancer risk
Posted by ArielTechGeek 467 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that short bursts of vigorous physical activity lasting just a few minutes incorporated into daily activities reduce cancer risk. It’s great news for people who don’t have time to – or don’t want to – go to the gym to work out.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Exercise, Cancer, University of Sydney
Twisty device monitors brain activity from inside the ear canal
Posted by ArielTechGeek 470 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Serving multiple useful purposes, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) usually incorporate scalp-applied or even brain-implanted electrodes. A new less-invasive BCI, however, can simply be stuck in the patient's ear canal as needed.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Tsinghua University, ear, Brain-computer interface, wearable electronics
Clear chemical connection between physical activity and brain health
Posted by ArielTechGeek 567 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The link between physical activity and brain health is not new, with many studies showing how exercise can boost function, from easing depression to staving off cognitive decline. Now, scientists have shown in cell studies that the connection may be more direct, which opens the door to more targeted physical therapies for brain health and potential treatment of neurodegenerative conditions.Contin
Just 75 mins of physical activity a week reduces risk of early death
Posted by ArielTechGeek 616 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The top two causes of death worldwide are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Both conditions are associated with well-known risk factors, including low levels of physical activity. A large, new meta-analysis has examined the link between physical activity and the risk of death and revealed some interesting results.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Exercise, Disease,
Kleptomaniacs and drug addicts found to exhibit similar brain activity
Posted by ArielTechGeek 625 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A recent study out of Japan has found that when exposed to pictures of stores and store products, people with kleptomania exhibit similar brain activity to that of people with substance addictions exposed to images of drugs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Kyoto University, Brain, Psychology, Addiction
Brain activity could predict who is most likely to get PTSD
Posted by ArielTechGeek 644 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
When it comes to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), much of the clinical research focuses on improving the condition rather than predicting it. However, a new study carried out at Tufts University has just uncovered a brain marker that seems to show who is more likely to develop PTSD when exposed to trauma. It all has to do with how one region of the brain is activated by perceived threats.Co
One-minute bursts of everyday activity linked to a longer life
Posted by ArielTechGeek 695 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Finding time for exercise around work, family and life’s other commitments can be tricky business, but as research continues to show, there is still a lot to gain from squeezing in short spurts here and there. A new study has driven this point home by highlighting the effects of one-minute bouts of vigorous activity, which were linked to a longer life in thousands of subjects.Continue ReadingCate
