Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have created a novel transparent brain-computer interface (BCI) capable of providing high-resolution neural recordings from the brain ...

But there’s one thing they’re decidedly not: transparent. You don’t have to turn a brain transparent to see inside it, of course. An MRI can image the insides of a brain in detail ...

Researchers have created a thin transparent neural implant that can monitor activity on the brain's surface but also account for functions at a deeper level. The hope is that it will lead to an ...

The technique, published in the October issue of Scientific American, makes brain cells transparent by removing lipids, which are usually concentrated in cell membranes. This allows light to ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a method to make a disembodied brain transparent, allowing them to study the organ's intricate wiring without having to slice it up. The feat in ...

designed and implanted a transparent window in the skull of a patient, then used functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) to collect high-resolution brain imaging data through the window. Their ...

California skateboarder Jared Hager has become the first person to receive a transparent skull replacement, which allows doctors to better view the function of his brain. The window has allowed ...

The researchers also made part of a human brain transparent, and used it to produce sharp imagery of deformed neurons that may be associated with Down syndrome and autism. It took six years for ...

Becoming invisible usually requires magic. For some thumb-sized squid, though, all it takes is a little genetic tweaking. Once these squid are genetically altered, "they're really hard to spot ...

Scientists who developed a way to make a mouse brain transparent say the process could revolutionize the way the human brain is studied. A transparent brain can be examined whole, without the need ...

In a report published today in the journal Nature, researchers at Stanford University described the method that replaced fats in the brain of mice with a gel that made the organ transparent.
