“The first human received an implant from Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well.” Elon Musk has announced a milestone moment at his brain-machine interface company, after a surgical robot successfully installed its first human brain chip.Continue … Continue reading Neuralink fits its first human patient with a brain interface
Researchers have created a thin transparent neural implant that can monitor activity on the brain’s surface but also account for functions at a deeper level. The hope is that it will lead to an accurate but less invasive brain-computer interface.Contin… Continue reading Transparent neural implant provides window to deeper brain activity
There may be new hope for stroke victims and other “locked-in” people who are unable to communicate by conventional means. It comes in the form of the experimental new BrainGPT system, which is able to read users’ thoughts and convert them into readabl… Continue reading Mind-reading BrainGPT converts thought-of words into displayed text
Researchers have developed a high-resolution sensor that records brain signals to decode what people are trying to say. While still early days, the device may provide people who’ve lost speech due to neurodegenerative disease with the ability to commun… Continue reading Implant uses brain signals to decode what people are trying to say
Being able to vocalize is one of the most essential elements of the human experience, with infants expected to start babbling their first words before they’re one year old, and …read more Continue reading Restoring a Person’s Voice Using a Brain-Computer Interface
Losing the ability to speak after a brain injury or due to disease leaves a person unable to express their thoughts, feelings and ideas, and can be incredibly isolating. In two recently published studies, researchers demonstrated how combining brain im… Continue reading Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back

Combining brain implants, AI, and electrical stimulation, a team of researchers, engineers and surgeons has developed a novel ‘double neural bypass’ technology that has restored arm movement and sensation to a quadriplegic man. It’s hoped the technolog… Continue reading First-of-its-kind tech restores movement, feeling to quadriplegic man
Serving multiple useful purposes, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) usually incorporate scalp-applied or even brain-implanted electrodes. A new less-invasive BCI, however, can simply be stuck in the patient’s ear canal as needed.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Twisty device monitors brain activity from inside the ear canal
Last year, Monash University scientists created the “DishBrain” – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five m… Continue reading Computer chip with built-in human brain tissue gets military funding
