Real-time brain-controlled selective hearing enhances speech perception in multi-talker environments
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02281-5This study shows that brain signals can identify and amplify the voice a person wants to hear in a crowded scene. Choudhari et al. provide evidence that brain-controlled hearing can improve speech perception…
Smartphone App–Delivered Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Concussion in Adolescents (MBI-4-mTBI): Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Persisting symptoms affect about one-third of youth following concussion. Mental health history, distress, and coping style are key predictors of prolonged recovery. Early and scalable psychological interventions, such as mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) delivered via smartphones, may improve patients’ ability…

A new FDA policy will let some flavored vapes stay on the market without authorization.
Fostering breakthrough AI innovation through customer-back engineering
Despite years of digitization, organizations capture less than one-third of the value expected from digital investments, according to McKinsey research. That’s because most big companies begin with technological capabilities and bolt applications onto them, rather than starting with customer needs…
Implementing advanced AI technologies in finance
In finance departments that have long been defined by precision and control, AI has arrived less as a neatly managed upgrade than as a quiet insurgency. Employees are already using it while leadership races to impose structure, governance, and strategy…

Exploring the neuroprotective potential of ligustrazine: a preclinical meta-analysis and machine learning perspective on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury
ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of ligustrazine in treating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and construct a preclinical evidence framework by meta-analysis and machine learning.MethodsA systematic search was conducted for preclinical studies published in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science,…
Haemodynamic correlates of bilateral 6 Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation during working memory enhancement revealed by fNIRS
IntroductionTheta-band transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has been proposed to enhance working memory (WM) by entraining endogenous oscillations, yet the haemodynamic signatures accompanying theta-tACS–related WM gains remain unclear. We investigated whether 6 Hz tACS modulates prefrontal task-evoked haemodynamic responses during…
