It is the stuff of science fiction: Researchers at Brown University have used a tiny array of electrodes to record, interpret and reconstruct the brain activity that controls hand movement - and they ...

When a paralyzed person imagines moving a limb, cells in the part of the brain that controls movement still activate as if trying to make the immobile limb work again. Despite neurological injury or ...

Connect the dots: A digital painting created by a study participant with paralysis. The Pittsburgh-based team developed a new algorithm for deciphering brain signals in brain–computer interfaces, ...

Researchers have designed the fastest, most accurate algorithm yet for brain-implantable prosthetic systems that can help disabled people maneuver computer cursors with their thoughts. The algorithm's ...

Scientists in the US have shown that thought alone can move a cursor across a computer screen. The system being tested in monkeys is suited to human use and could help paralysed individuals to regain ...

Researchers used machine learning to help a paralysed person control mouse cursor using their brain activity. The individual did not require extensive training. A team from University of California ...

Neuralink's first brain chip implant in a human has stabalised, company executives have confirmed this week. The device works by using tiny wires, which are thinner than a human hair, to capture ...
