The Brain Drone Race takes the already impressive technology of thought-controlled drone piloting and gives it an edge, imploring pensive pilots to will their drones across the finish line ahead of the competition.
-
Researchers have taken a promising step towards a future of where our brainwaves can be used to control devices and tackle neurological disorders, unveiling a portable EEG headset that will take brain monitoring out of the lab and into homes, cars and offices.
-
Scientists working at Korea University (KU) and Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin), have created a hands-free brain-computer interface to control a lower limb exoskeleton by decoding signals from the wearer’s brain.
-
A new study conducted by Brown University researchers has furthered our understanding of how the brain formulates a plan for picking up an object. In the long run, the findings could pave the way for more accomplished mind-controlled robotic prostheses.
-
The latest step forward in the field of brain-to-brain communication sees the brains of separate animals hooked up and their combined motor and sensory information used for things like controlling a virtual arm, pattern recognition and even predicting the weather.
-
Building on a previous study, University of Pittsburgh researchers gave quadriplegic Jan Scheuermann the ability to control a sophisticated robotic arm and pick up and manipulate objects of varying sizes using just her thoughts.

While many people will tell you that commuting by bicycle is less stressful than driving, the fact remains that it can still be ... well, stressful. The "mind-reading" MindRider bike helmet, however, is designed to make your ride easier.

The FIFA 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be kicked off by a paralyzed person using a brain-controlled robotic exoskeleton. This feat is being carried out as a demonstration of the current state-of-the art in assisted mobility technology.
-
OpenBCI adds to its open-source EEG platform a 3D-printed EEG headset which is customizable, cheap, and modular. It's both a clever demonstration of the flexibility of 3D printing and evidence of OpenBCI's goals to create a community around computer-brain interfaces.
-
Brain-computer interfaces may be a very promising emerging technology, but many systems are proprietary or too basic. OpenBCI is using Kickstarter to launch a platform that opens up EEG data to anyone interested in seeing what they can do with their own brainwaves.

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have just announced a new approach to rehabilitating stroke victims. Their device acts as an intermediary between the brain and a non-responsive hand, receiving signals from the one and transmitting them to the other.
