Collaborate Disseminate
Imagine a line of affordable toys controlled by the player’s brainwaves. By interpreting biosignals picked up by the dry electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes in an included headset, the game could infer …read more Continue reading The Complicated Legacy of Mind Controlled Toys
We’ve previously covered the PiEEG, an affordable brain-computer interface (BCI) shield designed to connect to the Raspberry Pi. The open source project developed by [Ildar Rakhmatulin] is intended to allow …read more Continue reading Latest PiEEG Shield Now Offers 16 Channels
Neurotech company Synchron has been making massive strides over the past couple of years. It’s just announced that a trial participant has used its brain-computer interface (BCI) to turn on the lights in his home, see who is at the door, and choose wha… Continue reading Surgery-free Neuralink rival enables thought-controlled smart home
The brain-machine interface race is on. While Elon Musk’s Neuralink has garnered most of the headlines in this field, a new small and thin chip out of Switzerland makes it look downright clunky by comparison. It also works impressively well.Continue Re… Continue reading Thought-to-text chip smaller than Neuralink achieves 91% accuracy
As Neuralink works towards getting its brain-computer interface technology approved for general use, it now has two human patients who have received the experimental implant. The second patient, [Alex], received …read more Continue reading Second Human Neuralink Brain Implant Recipient Uses It For CAD and Videogaming
Rather than cut a chunk of skull away to install a brain-computer interface like Neuralink, Synchron feeds electrodes up through the jugular vein to the motor cortex. Now the tech has enabled an ALS sufferer hands-free control of Apple’s Vision Pro.Con… Continue reading Blood vessel brain implant brings mind control to Apple’s spatial computer
Implantable electrodes for the (human) brain have been around for a many decades in the form of Utah arrays and kin, but these tend to be made out of metal, …read more Continue reading Brain Implant Uses Graphene Instead of Metal Probes
Biocomputing is one of the most bizarre frontiers in emerging technology, made possible by the fact that our neurons perceive the world and act on it speaking the same language as computers do – electrical signals. Human brain cells, grown in large num… Continue reading ‘Brain-in-a-jar’ biocomputers can now learn to control robots
Noland Arbaugh was in a swimming accident in 2016 that left him a quadriplegic. In January of this year, he became the first person to receive Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implant called the Link that would eventually allow him to have telekinetic power… Continue reading Neuralink hopes to get brain implant right on second try
Considering the incredible potential offered by brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), it’s no wonder there are so many companies scrambling to make their mark in the field. Some see it as an …read more Continue reading ardEEG Lowers the Cost of Brain-Computer Interfaces
