For First Time in History, AI Learns to Translate Silent Human Brain Activity into Text for Locked-In Syndrome Patients
(Andy Corbley) Have you ever heard of locked-in syndrome? Sometimes called pseudocoma, it describes a rare condition where the patient is “locked-in” their body. They are aware, but cannot act in the world due to complete paralysis of all voluntary muscles in the body, but with a normal exception being their eyes.
Processing Disgust – How Does the Brain Do It?
(Exploring Your Mind) There’s a lot of talk about how the human brain processes happiness, sadness, and fear. But what about disgust? This basic emotion is often forgotten but it’s helped humans survive over many millenniums.
The Neurological Effects of Coronavirus: the Latest Discoveries
(Exploring Your Mind) Loss of smell and taste, neuralgia, dizziness, mental confusion, and even occasional cases of encephalopathy. Experts are studying the neurological effects of coronavirus.
Study: The Brain has Two Systems for Thinking About Others’ Thoughts
(Max Planck) The brain seems to have two different systems through which we can put ourselves into the shoes of someone else. These two systems mature at different times such that only 4-year-olds can understand what another person is thinking, and not, as some have assumed, 1-year-olds.

Study: Sensory Information Underpins Abstract Knowledge
(Calli McMurray) Neuroimaging reveals our brains combine information from different categories of sensory information to drive abstract knowledge.
Meditation Changes the Structure of Your Brain in a Positive Way, Studies Show
(Aaron Kesel) For years, scientists have been trying to determine, through the study of neuroscience, if meditation has any effect on our personal health and our environment, going so far as to question if it could potentially lower crime rates.
The Left-Handed Brain: Differences and Advantages
(Exploring Your Mind) In a right-handed world, the left-handed brain has to make a number of adaptations. We’re talking about creating and putting into practice strategies that could make you more skilled on a psychomotor and cognitive level.
Brain Differences Between Genders | Psychology

Scientists Cleared Alzheimer’s Plaque From Mice Using Nothing but Light and Sound
(Manuel Garcia Aguilar) In previous articles, we discussed the importance of brain waves in modern technological developments. It even seemed like something “magical” to me, when I was writing about how through brain waves and AI scientists can “see” what you are seeing in real-time. Now, even more progress is being made thanks to neuroscientists at MIT.
Science Says Silence Is Vital For Our Brains
(Joe Martino) If you’re the average person, you wake up to the sound of an alarm. That alarm sends you to the bathroom where you quickly get yourself ready for your workday. If you have the time, you might eat something before jumping into your car to listen to music or the radio while you sit in traffic on your way to work.
Some Learning is a Whole-Brain Affair
(Science Daily) Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have successfully used a laser-assisted imaging tool to “see” what happens in brain cells of mice learning to reach out and grab a pellet of food. Their experiments, they say, add to evidence that such motor-based learning can occur in multiple areas of the brain, even ones not typically associated with motor control.
Watching Pornography Rewires the Brain to a More Juvenile State
