…Diego, have combined sophisticated computer vision algorithms and a brain-computer interface to find mines in sonar images of the ocean floor. The study shows that the new method speeds detection up considerably, when compared to existing methods—mainly visual inspection by a mine detection expert.

A University of California, San Diego research team led by bioengineer Gert Cauwenberghs is working to understand how the brain circuitry controls how we move. The goal is to develop new technologies to help patients with Parkinson’s disease and other debilitating medical conditions navigate the world on their own. Their…

…now, developing advanced neural interface devices. What makes his lab really special is that he is truly doing bench to bedside work," said Daniel Cleary, a resident physician in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UC San Diego Health in a recent video interview showcasing the Dayeh lab. "[Dayeh] designs…
