After many years working in the neuroscience field, I have had the chance to read many interesting papers. In this post I would like to share some of the most shocking publications I have come across with you. Some are…
A couple of weeks ago I took part in a neurodesconferencia event for Brain Awareness Week called “Hackers Cerebrals”. The idea was to talk about control, or loss of control, from the point of view of what the neuroscience tells us. Usually…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Last month Max Tegmark from MIT published a paper on consciousness. The curious thing here is that Tegmark is a physicist and they don’t traditionally get mixed up in theories of consciousness. His paper though is very timely as it…
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…
Over the last few years we have been very involved in the discussion around what we call human computer confluence. One of the central themes is the “disappearing interface” where a combination of pervasive computing, smart systems and AI lead…
In a recent posts I provided an overview of tCS in Stroke and Pain. Here I do the same but for Depression (only tDCS papers appear, though). Please let me know if you think I am missing some important one!…
