You mean Israeli Police attacked Palestinians while they were praying. Get your headlines right please.

I added the wrong citation in the tweet. Here is the right citation: clinph-journal.com/article/S1388-…

This article compares the open and closed-loop DBS and concludes closed-loop stimulation may be superior to open loop therapy by reducing the impact of DBS on cognitive processes that depend on coordinated neuronal oscillations. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

A study from Vancouver Island Health Authority supported findings that costs of spinal cord stimulation implants are recouped due to decreased demands for medical treatment in chronic pain patients. sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/…

It is a disappointing. They are claiming the results of treatment are not convincing enough to cover them. I hope when more clinical data comes out they will change their mind.

"Programming it requires frequent clinic visits and facilities may not necessarily be close to the patient home. However remote and Internet-based programming are likely to resolve these issues in the near future." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

I guess this can also be used to analyze the psychological impact social netwroks have on teenagers.

A new study on Huntington's Disease,HD, reports that build up of urea in the brain to toxic levels may cause brain damage, eventually leading to dementia. However, the source of the elevated urea in HD remains a mystery. neurosciencenews.com/dementia-cause…

Study shows the potential of tDCS in helping patients with depression but it remains to be clarified whether the probable or possible therapeutic effects of tDCS are clinically meaningful and how to optimally perform tDCS in a therapeutic setting. google.com/search?source=…

A neuroethicist and a human rights attorney have proposed that human rights be expanded to guard the sanctity of the human mind in the face of rapid advancements in neuroscience and neurotechnology. We are living in a very interesting time! thestack.com/big-data/2017/…

Long-term tDCS study shows cognitive improvements up to one year after stimulation. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28253083

In March 2016, DARPA announced their Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) program. The ideal end benefit for this kind of program would be downloadable learning. Why work hard to gain knowledge? Just hack your brain for faster learning! futurism.com/darpa-is-plann…

All these three ADHD subgroups were clinically indistinguishable for the most part. It will take more research to prove that ADHD is a collection of different disorders, but this is a major development in the study of ADHD.

One group demonstrated impulsive motor responses during fast-moving visual tasks (a measure of executive function), one group showed a preference for immediate reward, and the third group performed relatively normal on both tasks, compared to 134 non-ADHD adolescents.

A new study "sheds light on ADHD, reporting teens with the disorder fit into one of three specific subgroups with distinct brain impairments and no common abnormalities between them". neurosciencenews.com/adhd-spectrum-…

A signature pattern of electrical activity in the brain just a second or two before a burst of impulsive behavior could be the biomarker for impulsive behavior! Altered behavior could make the society better, but wouldn't it make us less human? neurosciencenews.com/dbs-destructiv…

Direct Amygdala Stimulation Can Enhance Memory in Humans. 79 percent of the participants showed an improvement on overnight memory tests, while the remaining 21 percent showed no improvement or impairment. neurosciencenews.com/memory-amygdal…

A BCI system such as the one explored in this paper could potentially be used, for instance, in medical helper robots for paralyzed and disabled patients. homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/jne_human…

This is the First demonstration of a humanoid robot "avatar" controlled by a human brain, Neural Systems Lab, December 2006. This noninvasive BCI infers what object the robot should pick and where to bring it based on the brain’s reflexive response. youtube.com/watch?v=6l2m-Y…
