DIY FTW. There was a DIY MRI project I remember reading about, I’ll try and find the link.
Many people are interested in what is called neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback training, a generic mental training method which makes the trainee consciously aware of the general activity in the brain. This method shows great potential for […]

Look into what your thinking with and control it.
Where Dr. Henry Markram takes the viewer on a tour de force of that structure that gives rise to the phenomena of human intelligence.
IBM Research’s Almaden Institute Conference on Cognitive Computing. Markram discusses microcolumns in the brain, and shows several video animations of computer models of neurons communicating in a microcolumn. His model includes 10,000 […]
