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.

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.

Using cutting-edge methods, Alexandra Morton-Hayward is cracking the secrets of ancient brains - even as hers betrays her.

Morton-Hayward traces her fascination with the brain to a very specific time - when her own brain began to torture her. An MRI scan revealed something unusual: part of her brain was collapsing into the hole where her spinal column enters the skull, a rare abnormality known as Chiari malformation.
