AI and EEG Transform Silent Thoughts to Text

Researchers created a revolutionary system that can non-invasively convert silent thoughts into text, offering new communication possibilities for people with speech impairments due to illnesses or injuries. The technology uses a wearable EEG cap to record brain activity and an AI model named DeWave to decode these signals into language.

Scientists find clue to ‘maternal instinct’

Researchers identify a group of neurons that are activated by oxytocin in an area of the female brain, but which are not present in the same area of a male mouse brain. Altered expression of these neurons may result in postpartum depression.

Loneliness Linked to 24% Higher Risk of Hearing Loss

A new study tracking nearly half a million participants over 12 years has revealed a strong, independent link between loneliness and an increased risk of hearing loss. Even after adjusting for genetic risk, health conditions, and lifestyle factors, lonely individuals had a 24% higher chance of developing hearing loss, especially sensorineural types.
