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 ...

Cells in the part of the brain that controls movement still activate as if trying to make the immobile limb work again when a paralyzed person imagines moving a limb. 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, ...

Giving a new twist to the phrase wishful thinking, scientists have demonstrated that thoughts alone can enable action. According to a report published today in the journal Nature, a tiny array of ...

Two paralysed patients with motor neurone disease (MND) have controlled a cursor on a computer screen by imagining themselves wiggling their fingers. One was also able to "type" words using the cursor ...

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 ...
