EEG-equipped ebike hijacks your brain’s threat response system

Ebikes offer all kinds of opportunities for smart software integration – just check out the Greyp 6.1 we rode recently, which can adjust its assistance rate to keep your heart in a certain cardio zone, or auto-capture video when its AI detects you’ve d… Continue reading EEG-equipped ebike hijacks your brain’s threat response system

Artificial synapses and living cells communicate using brain chemicals

Artificial synapses are an important step towards emulating the supercomputer that is the human brain. Now scientists have successfully bridged the gap between organic and artificial, with biohybrid synapses that let living cells communicate with elect… Continue reading Artificial synapses and living cells communicate using brain chemicals

Hair-thin electrode wires designed to “read thoughts” less obtrusively

When it comes to accurately reading the brain’s electrical signals, many systems utilize implantable electrodes. A new technology is reportedly less invasive yet just as accurate, as it swaps regular electrodes for ultra-thin wires.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Hair-thin electrode wires designed to “read thoughts” less obtrusively

Biological and artificial neurons connect and communicate online

Researchers in Europe and the UK have managed to connect biological and artificial neurons together – and allow them to communicate long distances through the internet. The biological neurons were grown in one country, sent signals through an artificia… Continue reading Biological and artificial neurons connect and communicate online

Facebook-backed brain research decodes thoughts as words instantly for the first time

Machines that can connect to our brains and interpret its electrical signals hold all kinds of potential in all kinds of areas. A perfect demonstration of this is a research partnership between scientists at the University of California San F… Continue reading Facebook-backed brain research decodes thoughts as words instantly for the first time

Brain-Computer Interfaces: Separating Fact From Fiction on Musk’s Brain Implant Claims

When it comes to something as futuristic-sounding as brain-computer interfaces (BCI), our collective minds tend to zip straight to scenes from countless movies, comics, and other works of science-fiction (including more dystopian scenarios). Our mind’s eye fills with everything from the Borg and neural interfaces of Star Trek, to …read more

Elon Musk's Neuralink plans its first brain chip implants for next year

Neuralink calls its first brain-computer chip the N1

More than two years have passed since the world caught wind of Elon Musk’s Neuralink, an ambitious and mysterious startup focused on developing brain-machine interfaces that can connect minds to machines. Not a lot has been revealed since, but the company today emerged from the shadows to share its progress so far, along with its plans for the future, which involve implanting its first chips in human as early next year.
