Given the complexity and scale of the interfaces required, Shepard and his team believe that the degree of noninvasiveness required for
human use within this aggressive time frame can only be achieved with electrode architectures based on stimulation and recording at the
brain surface.
This means that the
human brain is able to signal that a tactile sensation of a finger that touches a
surface does not correspond to own touch.
Using CT scans of ancient and modern
human skulls, the researchers created digital

Further research uncovered a broad spectrum of cell
surface stem cell markers (e.g., CD133, CD44, and CD24) that allow the identification of CSCs in

Research suggests that cooking enhanced the efficiency of nutrient absorption, allowing for the evolution of a much smaller absorptive
surface and hence smaller digestive tract, while at the same time boosting the energy intake required for the characteristically larger and more complex
human brain.
