STAT+: Brain biopsies on ‘vulnerable’ patients at Mount Sinai set off alarm bells at FDA, documents show

Hacker News

NEW YORK — By the time Peter Bauman considered deep brain stimulation, he was desperate. He hoped that the treatment, known as DBS, in which an electrode connected to an external battery is inserted into the brain and emits electrical impulses, would ease his Parkinson’s tremors. The brain biopsies seemed inconsequential.

Noninvasive theta-burst stimulation enhances skill learning

Hacker News

The stimulation of deep brain structures has thus far only been possible with invasive methods. Furthermore, striatal tTIS enhanced motor performance, especially in healthy older participants as they have lower natural learning skills than younger subjects.

Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. How many brains will be damaged along the way?

Flipboard

Xinmei Liu for Vox The brain implant company Neuralink is pushing a needlessly risky approach, former employees say. Of all Elon Musk’s exploits — the Tesla cars, the SpaceX rockets, the Twitter takeover, the plans to colonize Mars — his secretive brain chip company Neuralink may be the most dangerous. What is Neuralink for?

Not so artificial intelligence

Dataconomy

In a groundbreaking study conducted by Cambridge scientists , a fascinating parallel has emerged between artificial intelligence (AI) systems and the intricate workings of the human brain. This delicate trade-off, observed across species, prompts the question of why many biological brains converge on similar organizational solutions.
