AbstractIntracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) restore motor function to people with paralysis by translating brain activity into control signals for external devices. In current iBCIs, instabilities at the neural interface result in a degradation of decoding performance, which necessitates frequent supervised recalibration using new labeled data.

Launched in 2013, the BRAIN Initiative (BRAIN) in the United States aimed to unlock the mysteries of the brain and develop new treatments for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The success of this program is evidenced by the accelerated discoveries and development of interventions that are happening in real time.

AbstractTheta-burst stimulation (TBS), a patterned brain stimulation technique that mimics rhythmic bursts of 3–8 Hz endogenous brain rhythms, has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for treating a wide range of brain disorders, though the neural mechanism of TBS action remains poorly understood. We investigated the neural effects of TBS using intracranial EEG (iEEG) in 10 pre-surgical epilepsy participants undergoing intracranial monitoring.

NEWS AND VIEWS 17 April 2024 How does the human brain temporarily store information without losing track of it? Neuroscientists have discovered that neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes work together to hold information in working memory. Working memory is a fundamental cognitive process that allows us to hold on to information temporarily as it comes through our senses.
