At FinalSpark, a company co-founded by software engineer Dr. Fred Jordan, researchers are creating what they call “wetware”—a ...

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, China has successfully carried out its first intervention-based brain-computer interface (BCI) procedure, offering new hope for patients suffering from ...

Abstract: The brain–computer interface (BCI) establishes a direct communication system between the brain and a computer or other external devices. Since the inception of BCI technology half a century ...

BEIJING -- A team of Chinese scientists has developed a new, soft and movable implantable electrode that could overcome some of the biggest challenges holding back brain-computer interfaces. The study ...

There’s good news and bad news for anyone with visions of brain-implant tech that can transform people into the cybernetically enhanced humans of sci-fi fever dreams. Let’s start with the bad news: We ...

An important milestone for brain-computer interfaces has been achieved. A new peer-reviewed neuroscience study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) demonstrates a ...

A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Coimbra have discovered that the human brain organizes hand movements much like an alphabet — combining a small set of simple motions ...

The study of how the brain's map of the body adapts following amputation has intrigued neuroscientists for decades. Traditionally, it was believed that loss of a limb leads to large-scale ...

T here’s a 3D hand on a black screen. J. Galen Buckwalter concentrates on the image, trying to move one of the virtual hand’s fingers — with his mind. For more than 50 years, Buckwalter hasn’t felt ...

Inside every human brain lies a detailed map of the body, with different regions dedicated to different body parts – the hands, lips, feet and more. But what happens to this map when a body part is ...
