Fruitful insights on the brain from research on flies

Posted by in categories: life extension, neuroscience

Senescent cells, often described as zombie-like, are ones that have stopped dividing but are still alive.


Research led by the lab of Nancy M. Bonini of the School of Arts & Sciences have uncovered new details about the role of zombie-like cells in brain aging, using the fruit fly as a model.

MIT-backed first-of-its-kind headband offers drug-free sleep solution

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, mobile phones, neuroscience, wearables

The Elemind headband is a soft, lightweight, and flexible wearable designed to be worn throughout the night, regardless of one’s sleeping position. It can collect information using brainwaves and pairs with a smartphone, where users can find details about their sleep patterns.

Where the headband is effective is its ability to use neuromodulation to impact the brainwaves, directing them from wakeful patterns to those of deeper sleep. “Elemind works like noise-cancellation for the brain. You can switch off the world, switch off the stress, and go to sleep faster,” explained Meredith Perry, the CEO and co-founder of Elemind.
