“Smart” eyewear — that can integrate augmented reality with your own, feed you live information about your surroundings and even be used in the operating room — is no longer the stuff of science ...

Great ideas so often get lost in translation — from the math teacher who can’t get through to his students, to a stand-up comedian who bombs during an open mic night. But how can we measure whether ...

Mothers and children who play together show synchronized brain activity, and that neural coupling holds steady even when the mother switches to her second language. A study of 15 bilingual families in ...

New brain imaging equipment is now available to scientists at the University of Delaware’s Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus. The technology is called functional near-infrared ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a noninvasive optical method for measuring brain activity, has long been valued for its portability and relatively low cost. It works by tracking how ...

Using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), Kessler Foundation researchers have shown differential brain activation patterns between people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls.

Researchers have developed a new method that greatly improves the accuracy of brain-state classification with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The brain-imaging technique fNIRS allows ...
