An MRI method purported to detect neurons’ rapid impulses produces its own misleading signals instead, an MIT study finds.

A new method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may mean earlier detection and better monitoring of multiple sclerosis.

With the fourth significant shortage of helium in a decade continuing, companies and researchers are looking for alternative sources.

Brain scans have been used to interpret thoughts, but how far can this technology go?

Superconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures make them costly and difficult to use. Room-temperature superconductors promise to change that.

Tools used to detect multiple sclerosis in at-risk adults may fail to predict the neurological disorder in children, a new study shows.

Ev Fedorenko’s Interesting Brains Project highlights the human brain’s remarkable capacity to adapt, reorganize in the face of early damage.

How do you determine whether one brand is similar enough to another to infringe on its trademark? Researchers propose that comparing brain scans could be an option.

MIT researchers are discovering which parts of the brain are engaged when a person evaluates a computer program.

MRI scans of children ages 9-10 with ADHD showed few differences in structural brain measurements compared to children without the disorder.
