Nanofabricated ultraflexible electrode arrays that have a cross-sectional area that is much smaller than conventional carbon fibre electrodes could be used to detect action potentials from individual ...

Electrodes placed in the brain record neural activity, and can help treat neural diseases like Parkinson's and epilepsy. Interest is also growing in developing better brain-machine interfaces, in ...

IMEC revealed a design strategy for brain stimulation implants at the DATE (Design, Automation, and Test in Europe) conference this week in Nice, France. “To have a more precise stimulation and ...

The neural signatures for movement, touch, and thought processes are hidden in the activity of large neural populations. Each action and process is coordinated by a complex interplay between different ...

To shed new light on the contribution of different brain regions and neural circuits to specific mental functions, neuroscientists and medical researchers rely on advanced imaging techniques and ...

Procter & Gamble has filed a patent for a pH sensing probe that includes a sensor body, a pH glass electrode, a reference electrode, and a backup pH electrode. The backup electrode can be ...

Cracks and chemical reactions on a battery particle's surface can degrade performance, and the particle's ability to absorb and release lithium ions also changes over time. Scientists stuck a single ...
