  • The 2040s will mark the transition from screen-based learning to immersive, experiential education and the integration of neuroscience insights. Futurist Speaker on AI Leadership, Future of Work, Futu
  • The EU MDR already requires manufacturers of non-invasive brain stimulation devices to analyse, eliminate, or reduce as far as possible the risks related to: (a) psychological risks; neural and neuro-toxicity risks; [and] long-term side-effect changes in brain functioning. SpringerLink
  • Lower gray matter volume at baseline predicted higher reward-seeking behaviour two years later, suggesting a meaningful link between early brain development and later behavioral tendencies. American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
  • University of Queensland researchers have developed a promising new anti-inflammatory drug and, for the first time, used advanced imaging to watch its effects unfold inside the living brain, a breakthrough that could accelerate treatments for Parkinson's disease. The University of Queensland
  • Over the next three years, we believe AI will stop being a collection of tools and instead become the central operating brain of vessel management. Cyprus Shipping News
  • Eventually, interfaces might disappear through brain-computer interfaces now under development by companies like Neuralink, Synchron and Precision Neuroscience. Forbes
  • Monash University researchers set out to investigate whether music-related leisure activities could potentially lower the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment no dementia, as well as better brain function in healthy older adults. New Atlas
  • Whole-brain interfacing is going to be the future. Scientific American
  • University of Virginia School of Medicine and Naval Medical Research Command researchers will use a federal Department of Defense grant to better identify, prevent and treat brain injuries for military personnel caused by repeated blast exposures. News-Medical
  • Greater artificial light at night correlated with increased brain stress signals, inflamed blood vessels, and higher heart disease risk. ScienceDaily
  • In 2025, AI voice changers will be more human, faster, and adaptable - thanks to neural networks and machine learning models. Smallest.ai
  • The enrichment of SCZ-associated genes for the hippocampus could support the presence of clinically relevant targets for BCI/DBS therapies in the brain region area. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • The BCI devices are expected to lead to a more accurate recording and potential intervention on brain activities. PubMed Central (PMC)
