Uncovering ‘Covert Consciousness’ in Brain Injury Patients
In a paper published in the journal Brain last month Brian Edlow and colleagues reported a study in which they used the imaging techniques functional MRI and EEG to detect ‘covert consciousness’ in the intensive care unit. We checked in with Edlow, associate director of the Center for Neurotechno...

The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Jake Calkins on vintage guitar amplifiers and peering into the past
Science and music may seem like entirely different disciplines, sitting on opposite sides of a dichotomy that divides the world into two types of people: left brain / right brain, logical / intuitive, and so on. But in fact, they are more similar than one might think (as are the people who practi...
