Brain Computer Interface
-
Facebook has announced the purchase of CTRL-labs, a young company developing technology working on non-invasive systems that read your brain signals.
-
A research partnership between scientists at the University of California San Francisco and Facebook has produced an exciting breakthrough, demonstrating a brain-machine interface that for the first time decodes brainwaves as words and phrases in real time.

Not a lot has been revealed since Elon Musk announced his Neuralink venture two years ago, 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.

ScienceIn recent years, a brain-computer interface (BCI) developed by the US BrainGate consortium has allowed people to control a robotic arm and to type, using only their thoughts. Now, a group of paralyzed volunteers has utilized the technology to perform various functions on a tablet.

No longer a fringe sci-fi concept, we’re seeing big money being committed to the development of brain-computer interfaces. DARPA has now announced an investment of up to US$65 million across six projects as part of its new Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) program.

In the past, “mind reading” systems have been able to guess a number, but deeper thoughts have been beyond the technology’s reach. Now, a team from Carnegie Mellon University has developed a way to accurately read more complex concepts from a brain scan, and even piece together entire sentences.

The human brain remains an enigma, but neuroscience is beginning to unravel its secrets. To help us navigate the murky waters of peering into the human mind, researchers from Switzerland have proposed four new human rights relating to limitations on how the brain should be read or manipulated.
-
Researchers in Japan say that they've broken new ground with machines that can read out minds, developing a technology that can recognize Japanese words and also guess the single-digit number on a subject's mind with 90 percent accuracy.

By implanting recording electrodes under the skull of a paralyzed man and others into in his arm, scientists have reconnected his brain to his paralyzed muscles and enabled him to perform everyday tasks like drinking water and eating a forkful of food.
-
ScienceCyborg insects have been scuttling and buzzing around for years, but now, researchers from KAIST have scaled the idea up to a turtle. With their concept system, a human driver could use a brain-computer interface (BCI) to direct the turtle's movement just by thinking about it.
-
In cases of paralysis, a fully functioning brain can be trapped inside an immobile body. More and more, brain-computer-interface technology is coming to the rescue in such cases, including a newly developed system that lets people type at a faster speed than ever before using only their minds.
-
Health and fitness monitors may have come along in leaps and bounds, but there's still a whole lot they don't know about us. Placing miniaturized sensors deep inside our bodies would be one way to change that, and now it seems such a technology mightn't be so far away.
