An Italian neuroscientist who says he’s planning to perform the world’s first head transplant later this year has told a German magazine that he intends to thaw a cryogenically preserved brain and transplant it in a donor body within three years.
Led by the former head of DARPA and Google ATAP, Regina Dugan, Building 8 has created a way to talk to your computer with your brain.
A new study could change scientists' understanding of how the brain works - and could lead to new approaches for treating neurological disorders and for developing computers that 'think' more like humans.
A team of doctors has documented a case in which a terminal patient removed from life support continued to experience brain wave activity for approximately 10 minutes after they had been pronounced clinically dead. The team acknowledge that they have no explanation for what they observed.
