Here’s what these brain ‘holes’ and the scans that found them really mean.
The world’s largest genetic study on the size of specific brain parts has revealed hundreds of clues about how some health conditions develop.
Brain scanners and AI can turn brainwaves into streams of text – but language only captures a tiny fraction of our mental experience.
We envisage a future in which sleep is a routine target for reducing or preventing symptoms of mental illness, both in psychiatric settings and people’s homes
As Elon Musk’s Neuralink begins inserting chips into human brains, we trace the history of ‘mind reading’ technology and assess the potential risks and rewards
Music therapy has been shown to help people suffering with cancer, chronic pain and depression. Our research is testing which parts of the brain are affected by different kinds of music
How do you determine whether one brand is similar enough to another to infringe on its trademark? Researchers propose that comparing brain scans could be an option.
