GTNeuro researchers on the cutting edge are exploring the frontier between our ears
25th annual gathering at the Petit Institute featured ground-breaking research in neuroscience
The 25th annual Suddath Symposium was devoted, for the first time, to neuroscience research. The two-day event (Feb. 21-22) featured speakers from across the country and both sides of…
High performance brain-to-computer interface
A new research report from Stanford University highlights a high performance brain-to-computer interface that can enable people with paralysis to type words and messages with much higher…
An electric buzz to the vagus can fight chronic inflammation -- this fine-tune makes it even better.
Is a treatment only making things better or maybe also making some things a little worse?
That can be a nagging question in some medical decisions, where side effects are possible. But…

For scientists listening in on the faint whispers of brain neurons, a first-ever robotic technique for cleaning the tiny devices that record the signals could facilitate a new level of automation…
The Emory neuromodulation and Technology Innovation Center (ENTICe) is soliciting applications for its 2016 Pilot Grant Program. The objective of this funding is to promote the testing of…
Two new grants to researchers at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology
Two new grants to researchers at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology will support studies that will increase our understanding of how balance and movement are affected in…
Neuroscience and neurotechnology community gather for “state of the union”
The Georgia Institute of Technology’s neuroscience and neurotechnology community assembled recently for NeuroDay 2016, bringing together dozens of faculty members from the College of Sciences,…
Researchers have for the first time precisely manipulated the bursting activity of cells in the thalamus.
As you start across the street, out of the corner of your eye, you spot something moving toward you. Instantly, your brain shifts its focus to assess the potential threat, which you quickly…
A new study has produced a set of biomarkers that may enable development of an accurate ovarian cancer screening test.
Studying blood serum compounds of different molecular weights has led scientists to a set of biomarkers that may enable development of a highly accurate screening test for early-stage ovarian…
Study finds ballet training may improve balance and coordination in daily activities
From the American Physiological Society:
A ballet dancer’s grace is not just because the dancer constantly practices moving with poise. New research published in the…
Five teams of Georgia Tech-Emory researchers awarded $50,000 each
Cutting edge research is not a solo act. Successful results are acquired through an ensemble effort, like the Georgia ImmunoEngineering Consortium, a collaborative partnership of multidisciplinary…
