The NUS-developed novel microfibre sensor, which functions like a conductive thread, is highly sensitive and ultra-thin with a diameter of a strand of human hair. Designed to be durable and washable, this invention has promising applications in the emerging...
Research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Radboud University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, and Stanford University shows that disrupting just one night of sleep in healthy, middle-aged adults causes an increase in a brain protein...
Current sleep staging practice consists of visual analysis of 30-second segments of raw EEG wave forms (top) and subjective categorization into sleep stages to create a hypnogram (middle), which is used for many clinical analyses. The multitaper spectrogram (bottom)...

Machine enhanced humans -- or cyborgs as they are known in science fiction -- could be one step closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research Lieber Group at Harvard University, as well as scientists from University of...
The Zika virus may be associated with an autoimmune disorder that attacks the brain's myelin similar to multiple sclerosis, according to a small study that is being released today and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's...
Not all habits are bad. Some are even necessary. It's a good thing, for example, that we can find our way home on "autopilot" or wash our hands without having to ponder every step. But inability to switch from...
The older we get, the more difficult it becomes to put the world around us in order. Yet, our brain develops remarkable strategies to slow down the effects of aging.
