Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been part of our imaginations and simmering in research labs since a group of computer scientists rallied around this topic at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956. They would give birth to the field of AI. In the decades since, AI has exploded, especially since 2015. Much of that has to do with […]
This blog has included a fair amount of posts about research studies, as well as about tools, procedures and tips. With all this content, we intend to give you all the ingredients to enter the fascinating world of research and applications of applied neuroscience. Let’s say you get inspired reading the blog and want to […]
In my last post I started with a quote from “The Matrix”. Here I would like to go a bit further and make a quick review of the top coolest applications of BCI and Neurostimulation that we often see (and sometimes give for granted) in popular movies. Neurostimulation and awesome virtual reality From my point of view, one of the […]
How many times would you have liked to know what the person in front of you was feeling? Perhaps, you were criticizing a specific brand in an interview, and the guy just in front of you was a self-devoted user of this brand. Or the other way around: the interviewer was interested on knowing what […]
We all know that we are extremely social animals but just how far does this go? Many believe that human intelligence evolved to solve our complex social problems rather than ecological problems as was previously assumed. Robin Dunbar lays this out in his 1998 paper “The Social Brain Hypothesis”. You may have heard of Dunbar’s Number, […]
As we know, the main uses of EEG include diagnosis and neurofeedback therapy (including BCI). Theses applications falls into the clinical realm, but there are many more applications, some of them quite strange to say the least. One important point before starting this post: EEG and BCI are nowadays mainly used for clinical purposes, but […]
EEG researchers are opening new frontiers for exploring the human brain beyond the Earth. EEG research on humans in space travel is becoming a key field in order to improve pilots and astronauts training and well-being. Through Neuroelectrics’ mother company Starlab we have strong links to the Space industry and the European Space Agency and […]
As I have mentioned some times in previous posts, I am pretty sure that in the next years we will see great advances in the field of neuroscience. The 20th century was the century of physics, with great discoveries such as the theory of relativity and quantum physics, among others. I reckon the 21st century […]
During the last decade the use of Neurofeedback techniques to achieve a better athletic performance has been a booming subject. More and more athletes use mental training each day as a means of achieving the ultimate competitive edge. One of the most well-known examples is the Italian football team that won the 2004 World Cup […]
Some years ago I was deeply intrigued by the notion of “locking” into natural brain rhythms using tACS or more exotic tCS flavors. The basic notion stems from the idea of resonance the phenomenon in which a forced dynamical system is able to accumulate more and more energy from dynamically-matched external forcing, as in a swing (all parents […]
