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
“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
Although it is possible to control devices using brain waves, doing so usually involves having electrodes and conductive gel applied to one’s head. Now, however, scientists have developed a new-and-improved type of “dry” electrode – and it’s been used … Continue reading Next-gen “dry” electrodes used to control a robot via brain waves
Scientists have developed an advanced new brain sensor that promises to take the safety and efficiency of cancer and epilepsy treatment into new terrain. The groundbreaking device is able to record electrical signals from the brain’s surface in record-… Continue reading Thin, flexible sensor records brain activity in record-breaking detail
We often look at news out of the research community and think, “we could build that.” But the latest brain-machine interface from an international team including the Georgia Institute of …read more Continue reading Brain Interface Uses Tiny Needles
Mercedes-Benz takes hands-free vehicle control to the next level at this year’s IAA Mobility show in Munich. Its scaly Vision AVTR concept looks as likely to rise up and eat its driver as to obey them, but with a new brain-computer interface, the visio… Continue reading Freakish Mercedes AVTR concept reads your mind, owns your nightmares
A novel device designed to help stroke patients recover wrist and hand function has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Called IpsiHand, the system is the first brain-computer interface (BCI) device to ever receive FDA market ap… Continue reading First ever FDA-approved brain-computer interface targets stroke rehab
Brain-machine interfaces are one of those incredible ideas that were once the reserve of science fiction. However, in recent years scientists have begun to experiment with primitive forms of the technology, even going as far as helping a quadriplegic c… Continue reading Scientists read minds of monkeys using new ultrasound technique
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
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
