Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

Researchers have built a fully implantable device that sends light-based messages directly to the brain. Mice learned to interpret these artificial patterns as meaningful signals, even without touch, ...

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain—bypassing the body's ...

A new brain device from Northwestern University is asking a daring question: what if information could reach your brain without ever passing through your eyes, ears, or skin? In a study, scientists ...

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain - bypassing the body's ...
