The nervous system maintains homeostasis and health. Homeostatic disruptions underlying
the pathobiology of many diseases can be controlled by bioelectronic devices targeting CNS …

A key element of the European Union's Human Brain Project (HBP) and other large-scale
brain research projects is the simulation of large-scale model networks of neurons. Here, we …

Blindness affects 40 million people across the world. A neuroprosthesis could one day
restore functional vision in the blind. We implanted a 1024-channel prosthesis in areas V1 …

A visual cortical prosthesis (VCP) has long been proposed as a strategy for restoring useful
vision to the blind, under the assumption that visual percepts of small spots of light produced …

Our access to computer-generated worlds changes the way we feel, how we think, and how
we solve problems. In this review, we explore the utility of different types of virtual reality …

In this issue of the JCI, the dream of restoring useful vision to blind individuals with
neurotechnology moves one step closer to realization. Fernández et al. implanted an …

Intracranial electrical stimulation (iES) of the human brain has long been known to elicit a
remarkable variety of perceptual, motor and cognitive effects, but the functional–anatomical …

A central debate in philosophy and neuroscience pertains to whether PFC activity plays an
essential role in the neural basis of consciousness. Neuroimaging and electrophysiology …

Loss of vision alters the day to day life of blind individuals and may impose a significant
burden on their family and the economy. Cortical visual prosthetics have been shown to …

Neocortical gamma activity has long been hypothesized as a mechanism for synchronizing
brain regions to support visual perception and cognition more broadly. Although early …
