Researchers have been developing robots that are powered by artificial brains. They have created a computer neural simulation consisting of 6,700 neurons with approximately 1.3 million synaptic connections to carry out this task. The robot they used...
Neural Interface
I found some more information about the HIVE project. A presentation was given November of last year discussing the potential of computer controlled brain stimulation (see PDF). The researchers definitely appear to have an eye towards some more fut...
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for Brain Research
Graphics Processing Units (GPU) are commonly used to power video game software. However, they are also finding use for a more diverse array of scientific research as well. A GPU conference has recently taken place discussing some of the application...
Electron Microscope to Image Living Cells
I have previously mentioned about increasing the resolving power of light based microscopes in order to better image living tissue. Electron microscopes have an even greater ability to view finer details. The only problem is that focused electron b...
