Telepathy experiment. The "lost" mind...
For the first time, scientists have been able to send a simple mental message from one person to another without any contact between the two, thousands of miles apart in India and France. Research led by experts at Harvard University shows technology can be used to transmit information from one person's brain to another's even,…

Mind, waves, neural connections...
Researchers from The University of Western Australia have shown that electromagnetic stimulation can alter brain organisation, which may make your brain work better. In results from a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers from The University of Western Australia and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in France demonstrated that weak sequential electromagnetic…

Brain. Mind. The plagues of modern science...
An influential group of European neuroscientists is threatening to boycott the Human Brain Project (HBP), the hugely ambitious plan to map the entire human brain in computer models that is slated to receive up to €1 billion in funding from the European Union and its member countries. An open letter published today that has so…

Turn off consciousness... So?
That's what doctors at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., inadvertently discovered while evaluating a 54-year-old woman with epilepsy. The researchers realized that by using electrodes to deliver tiny jolts of electricity to a particular region of the woman's brain, they could control her consciousness almost as if they had an on-off switch. (1)…

Scanning the brain. So what?
DARPA wants to build a computer that mimics the human brain. [1] At the same time scientists have shown that it is possible to reconstruct thoughts more accurately than ever before by analysing MRI images of the brain (along with the use of an elegant mathematical model). [2] In some years we will be able to…
