Monterey, CA Alzheimer’s And Parkinson’s Researchers Have A New Tool
by Richard Kuehn on 03/20/15
ElMindA has come out with a new device which can observe the effect of billions of neurons that fire when you think talk or breathe. MRIs show us the roadways of the brain, CEO Ronen Gadot told FastCompany, but not the traffic. The device uses up to 256 electrodes and sits on your head like a hairnet. It can then monitor how brain networks respond to one another. The technology was approved last July by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and may help people with Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s, ADHD and PTSD. For the first time, researchers say, they will be able to monitor the brain to see how it reacts to a new drug versus the brain on someone who is given a placebo.
