Stanford creates tiny, high speed, ultrasound powered brain implants
2014-10-23 21:29:11| Extremetech
Stanford researchers suggest that the way to move beyond the legal, physiological, and physical constraints on the energy that can beam to an implant may be to move away from radio waves, and switch to ultrasound instead. Not content just to wax philosophical about these issues, they have now demonstrated proof of principle for ultrasound power transmission into the brain -- or at least into a three-centimeter-thick slab of chicken meat.

Transparent optogenetic brain implants: Yet another amazing use for graphene
2014-10-21 18:32:42| Extremetech
The most powerful brain implants being built today can record fast electric signals using conductive arrays while permitting light to pass out through them for high-resolution imaging . To take it up a notch, they also can let light in for optogenetic control directly under the implant. Two new studies just published in Nature Communications have the details.

When Computers Get a Right Brain
2014-10-13 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
IBM is massively increasing its commitment to Watson, which was evident at last week's IBM Think Forum. IBM recognizes that if it can get a product that thinks first, then it can again take absolute control over the technology market, and every other company will be chasing it again. It is making some impressive headway, and the firm that succeeds at this will change the world.

Thync Scores $13M for Foggy Brain Project
2014-10-09 22:44:07| TechNewsWorld
Thync on Wednesday announced it had raised US$13 million in funding from "top-tier" investors, including lead investor Khosla Ventures. Thync's product, possibly called the "Vibe," is a wearable device that purportedly uses neurosignaling to modify a user's state of mind in relation to energy, calm and focus. Thync's claims have raised some eyebrows.
