e-tattoo to monitor brain stress
Ferrari Press Agency
e-tattoo 1
Ref 16862

Picture MUST credit: Huh et al. /University of Texas at Austin
A temporary high tech face tattoo that can track when the brain is working too hard has been developed by scientists.
The technology may help track the mental workload of workers like air traffic controllers and truck drivers, whose lapses in focus can have serious consequences.
The e-tattoo decodes brainwaves to measure mental strain without bulky headgear.
The team behind the device said humans perform best in a cognitive zone when they are neither overwhelmed or bored.
Finding that balance is key to optimal performance.
The e-tattoo does this by analysing electrical activity from the brain known as as EEG as well as eye movement,
Currently EEG measurement is done using caps that are bulky with dangling wires.
Instead the wireless e-tattoo consists of a lightweight battery pack and paper-thin, sticker-like sensors.
The sensors are made into wavy loops and coils, a design that allows them to stretch and conform seamlessly to the skin for comfort and clear signals.
The US researchers from the University of Texas at Austin tested the e-tattoo on six volunteers who completed a memory challenge that increased in difficulty.
Participants' brains slowed as cognitive demand increased, and mental fatigue grew.

Brain activity monitoring with a hair-like strand

Hair 1
Ref 16793

See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: Zhou Lab / Penn State
A 3D-printable electrode that looks like a single strand of human hair has been developed that measures brain activity.
And it could make taking readings to diagnose things like epilepsy and sleep disorders much less complicated than they presently are.
Currently someone having an electroencephalogram , known as an EEG, requires their head to be covered in electrodes.
The standard EEG typically uses 21 of them, affixed to the scalp in strategic positions to capture activity from various brain regions.
But a team of researchers from the USA’s Pennsylvania State University reckons it has ushered in the future of EEG.
It has developed a single electrode that looks just like a strand of hair and is more reliable than the standard, multi-electrode version.
It’s designed to be worn continuously for long periods while not interfering with the wearer’s usual activities or drawing attention to its presence.
The electrode portion of the device is 3D-printed using a polymer hydrogel to be like a single strand of hair.
It can be printed using different biocompatible dyes to ensure the device matches the user’s hair colour.
On one end is the electrode which looks like a small dot and captures the brain’s electrical signals from the scalp.
The long, thin wire-like component extends from the electrode and connects to the monitoring system.
OPS: The lightweight and flexible electrode, which looks like a strand of hair, attaches directly to the scalp and delivers stable, high-quality recordings of the brain’s signals.

Paralysed man uses brain chip to control robot arm

See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: UCSF/Ganguly Lab
Researchers at UC San Francisco have enabled a man who is paralysed to control a robotic arm through a device that relays signals from his brain to a computer.
He was able to grasp, move and drop objects just by imagining himself performing the actions.
The device, known as a brain-computer interface, worked for a record seven months without needing to be adjusted.
Until now, such devices have only worked for a day or two.
The brain implant relies on artificial intelligence that can adjust to the small changes that take place in the brain as a person repeats a movement and learns to do it in a more refined way.
Researchers at the University of California San Francisco said the key was the discovery of how activity shifts in the brain day to day as a study participant repeatedly imagined making specific movements.
Once the AI was programmed to account for those shifts, it worked for months at a time.

Une interface cerveau-ordinateur a permis à un homme paralysé de piloter un drone virtuel en utilisant uniquement ses pensées
Pictures must credit: Willsey et al / Stanford University A computer brain interface has allowed a man with paralysis to fly a virtual drone using only his thoughts. Researchers said the implant gave the 69-year-old patient an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter—just by thinking about moving his unresponsive fingers. The study by a team at the USA’s Stanford University was inspired by the participant’s own request after he said controlling the virtual object was like playing a musical instrument. The technology divided the man’s hand into three parts: the thumb and two pairs of fingers — index and middle, ring and small. Each could move both vertically and horizontally. As the patient thought about moving the three groups, at times simultaneously, the virtual quadcopter drone responded, manoeuvring through a virtual obstacle course. A spokesperson said: “It’s an exciting next step in providing those with paralysis the chance to enjoy games with friends while also demonstrating the potential for performing remote work.”

Une découverte de fossile pourrait transformer notre compréhension de l’évolution du cerveau des oiseaux
Picture MUST credit: Stephanie Abramowicz A fossil discovery could transform our understanding of how the unique brains and intelligence of modern birds evolved, one of the most enduring mysteries of vertebrate evolution. Researchers have identified a remarkably well-preserved fossil bird, roughly the size of a starling. from the Mesozoic Era . This period lasted from 252 million to 66 million years ago when an asteroid strikes is believed to have prompted the extinction of the dinosaurs. The complete skull has been preserved almost intact:, a rarity for any fossil bird, but particularly for one so ancient, making this one of the most significant finds of its kind. The three-dimensional preservation allowed the researchers, led by the UK’s University of Cambridge and the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum in the USA, to digitally reconstruct the brain of the bird, which they have named Navaornis hestiae. Navaornis lived approximately 80 million years ago in what is now Brazil. The researchers say their discovery could be a sort of ‘Rosetta Stone’ for determining the evolutionary origins of the modern avian brain. The fossil fills a 70-million-year gap in our understanding of how the brains of birds evolved: between the 150-million-year-old Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird-like dinosaur, and birds living today.

The researchers say their discovery could be a sort of ‘Rosetta Stone’ for determining the evolutionary origins of the modern avian brain. The fossil fills a 70-million-year gap in our understanding of how the brains of birds evolved: between the 150-million-year-old Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird-like dinosaur, and birds living today.

Une découverte de fossile pourrait transformer notre compréhension de l’évolution du cerveau des oiseaux
Picture MUST credit: Stephanie Abramowicz A fossil discovery could transform our understanding of how the unique brains and intelligence of modern birds evolved, one of the most enduring mysteries of vertebrate evolution. Researchers have identified a remarkably well-preserved fossil bird, roughly the size of a starling. from the Mesozoic Era . This period lasted from 252 million to 66 million years ago when an asteroid strikes is believed to have prompted the extinction of the dinosaurs. The complete skull has been preserved almost intact:, a rarity for any fossil bird, but particularly for one so ancient, making this one of the most significant finds of its kind.

The brain collector: Alexandra Morton-Hayward the scientist unravelling the mysteries of grey matter
Using cutting-edge methods, Alexandra Morton-Hayward is cracking the secrets of ancient brains - even as hers betrays her.

Researchers study brain activity of surgeons for signs of cognitive overload
Team at Imperial College London say techniques could be used to flag warning signs during surgery.
It is a high-stakes scenario for any surgeon: a 65-year-old male patient with a high BMI and a heart condition is undergoing emergency surgery for a perforated appendix.
This kind of drama routinely plays out in operating theatres, but in this case trainee surgeon Mary Goble is being put through her paces by a team of researchers at Imperial College London who are studying what goes on inside the brains of surgeons as they perform life-or-death procedures.
Goble looks cool and collected as she laparoscopically excises the silicon appendix, while fending off a barrage of distractions. But her brain activity, monitored through a cap covered in optical probes, may tell a different story.
