human brain

Mind control or telepathy is not a fiction anymore. A group of scientists from University of Washington have proven through a research that information can be sent from one brain to another with the help of a certain setup. They are now focusing on how to utilize this process to benefit the education system.

The functionality of a human brain is really mysterious. Study has found that human brains can make decisions during sleep. On the other hand, scientists have created next generation data storage devices that mimic the memory of the human brain. And now, scientists have invented a brain decoder that could read your inner thoughts.

Many people think that when a person sleeps, his/her brain also sleeps. But that's not true. Human brain doesn't shut down when people are in sleep. Rather, a recent study has shown that during sleep, human brain remains quietly active and can process information to help people make decisions, just like when they are awake.

But is it possible to send messages directly from one brain to another? Until now, it might have been not possible, but now it's possible. Lately, scientists have sent…

IBM has created a customized "brain-like" processor called TrueNorth that can mimic human brain. It comes with a whopping 4,096 processor cores. The chip contains 5.4 billion transistors. Furthermore, it is capable of mimicking 256 million synapses and 1 million human neurons.

Earlier we have seen scientists creating artificial kidney, artificial nose even artificial heart in laboratory. Now we have come to know that some scientists have created mini human brains in the laboratory.

A couple of days ago one of the most curious and utopian conferences, the Global Future 2045 International Congress, took place in New York City from June 15-16, where some of the brightest minds in the field of neuroscience, biotechnology and robotics assembled to discuss the prospect of transferring the human brain and mind out of the biological…

Researchers and scientists have always wanted to know how a human brain cell works to increase intelligence? To find the answer to that question, some researchers injected human brain cells into the brains of mice to see how it would affect the mice. Interestingly, researchers found that the mice got smarter and human brain cells implanted in mice…

The ability to control a robot with your thoughts may sound like something from a sci-fi movie. But it may soon become reality for people with paralyzing diseases. A group of Swiss scientists have recently demonstrated how a paralyzed individual could control robots using the power of mind in order to interact with their environment. It's something…

One wishes that they had some devise with which they could have known what the other person is thinking, especially in times when one wants a decision or a direct answer from the other person who is hesitant to give it honestly.
