An important milestone has been achieved in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. A new peer-reviewed study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering shows how a high-performance brain-computer ...

SANTA CRUZ — In a groundbreaking study published last week, UC Santa Cruz biomolecular engineering assistant professor Tal Sharf and other researchers have shown that developing brain tissue exhibits ...

Sharf holds a CMOS-based microelectrode array chip used to precisely locate the electrical activity of single neurons within millimeter-sized organoid tissue. Humans have long wondered when and how we ...

Brain–computer interfaces are technologies that enable direct communication between brain activity and external devices, enabling researchers to monitor and interpret brain signals in real time. These ...

Researchers increasingly use microelectrode array (MEA) recordings of in vitro neuronal networks for drug efficacy and safety testing during pharmaceutical development. At the Tohoku Institute of ...

In this work, we present an alternative system to standard microelectrode arrays for monitoring the electrical activity of 3D cellular aggregates such as neurospheroids, which are known to better ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance to the Layer 7 Cortical Interface — a high-resolution cortical electrode array for use in recording, monitoring, and stimulating ...
