Neuromodulation is a technique that enhances or restores brain function by directly intervening in neural activity. It is commonly used to treat conditions like Parkinson��s disease, epilepsy, and depression. The shift from open-loop to closed-loop neuromodulation strategies enables on-demand modulation, improving therapeutic effects while reducing side effects. This could lead to significant��

New research out of the University of California, San Francisco has given a paralyzed man the ability to communicate by translating his brain signals into computer generated writing. The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, marks a significant milestone toward restoring communication for people who have lost the ability to speak. ��To our knowledge, this is the first��

To improve brain simulation technology, a team of researchers from the University of Sussex developed a GPU-accelerated approach that can generate brain simulation models of almost-unlimited size. Researchers Dr. James Knight and Thomas Nowotny from the University of Sussex��s School of Engineering and Informatics detailed the work in a paper published in Nature Computational Science journal.

Ishtar Nyawira, a data science intern at the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center shares how she is using deep learning and the GPU-accelerated Bridges supercomputer to automate the process of biological image annotation from high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) imagery. The goal of the project is to ultimately understand how the neurons in our brains are wired.

Moises Hernandez Fernandez, PhD student at University of Oxford shares how GPUs are being used to accelerate the analysis of the human brain��s underlying anatomical and structural organization, which can lead to a better understanding of neurological disorders like Alzheimer��s or Multiple Sclerosis. Using Tesla K80 GPUs and CUDA, the group at Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain��

More than one million athletes experience a concussion each year in the United States. Researchers from a California-based startup Neural Analytics have designed a portable headset device that maps blood flow in the brain, which may make it easier to recognize concussions. ��There is growing evidence that concussions can change the blood flow in the brain,�� said study author Robert Hamilton, PhD��

Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and several collaborators used NVIDIA GPUs to create a highly detailed 3D digital reconstruction of tissue from a rat��s hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. The reconstruction, powered by TITAN GPUs, helped the researchers precisely determine the number and size categories of synapses �� the connections that carry signals between��
