Neuralink hopes to get brain implant right on second try

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→

Brain implants are becoming obsolete, like old phones. What happens next?

Huge advances in medical technology have led to increasingly advanced implanted neurological devices, such as deep brain, vagal nerve, and spinal cord stimulators. Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a wireless brain-computer interface (BCI), is one of the more wel… Continue reading Brain implants are becoming obsolete, like old phones. What happens next?→

Neuralink fits its first human patient with a brain interface

“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→

Transparent neural implant provides window to deeper brain activity

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→

Mind-reading BrainGPT converts thought-of words into displayed text

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→

Implant uses brain signals to decode what people are trying to say

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→

Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back

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→
