From Your Body to Music: Interview with Biophysical Xth Sense Interface Creator
What you’re watching in the video above doesn’t involve cameras or motion sensors. It’s the kind of brain-to-machine, body-to-interaction interface most of us associate with science fiction. And while the technology has made the occasional appearance in unusual, niche commercial applications, it’s poised now to blow wide open for music – open as in free and open source.

Carboncopies is a nonprofit organisation with a goal of creating a networking and outreach community around the central idea of Advancing Substrate Independent Minds (ASIM).

ASIM is a field of research which seeks to understand the brain and nervous system of a wide range of organisms, including humans, in order to facilitate emulation of these organisms in an artificial substrate, for example a computer processor.

So they designed a new EEG-based, cognitive event-related potential (ERP) test: the auditory rule violation ERP.

Essentially, the test evaluates cerebral responses to violations of temporal regularities in two ways: it looks for EEG detection of identification of a single deviant sound among a pattern of standard sounds, and for a longer-term violation made up of a series of five unexpected sounds.

Nature News Blog: Attention! New study points to power of controlling neurons
Humans and monkeys can learn to fire neurons in particular regions of the brain at will using a feedback mechanism. They can, for example, control the movement of motor neurons even without making any physical movements. But what effect does that firing have on the cognition or behavior of the monkey (or person)?

Zaidel Lab: Zaidel Lab
The lab approaches cognitive neuroscience from the vantage point of hemispheric specialization and interhemispheric interaction in humans. The two hemispheres serve as a model system for modularity and intermodular communication in the mind/brain. We use a convergent approach, combining anatomy (cortical asymmetries, the structure of the corpus callosum), physiology (PET, fMRI, EEG, ERP, TMS) and behavior (hemifield tachistoscopy, dichotic listening).

The Associated Press: Study ties brain structure size to socializing
Brain scans of 58 volunteers in a preliminary study indicated that the bigger the amygdala, the more friends and family the volunteers reported seeing regularly.
That makes sense because the amygdala is at the center of a brain network that's important for socializing, says Lisa Feldman Barrett, an author of the work published online Sunday by the journal Nature Neuroscience.
