Researchers at UC San Francisco have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling individuals with paralysis to control robotic devices through thought ...

It's been over two decades since researchers first demonstrated that a person could move a computer cursor with their thoughts. That's thanks to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs): surgically implanted ...

Scientists have pinpointed brain activity related to inner speech—the silent monolog in people's heads—and successfully decoded it on command with up to 74% accuracy. "This is the first time we've ...

In September 2024, California quietly set a precedent. Lawmakers passed SB 1223, an amendment to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that classifies neural ...

Researchers researchers bring noninvasive EEG-based BCI one step closer to everyday use by demonstrating real-time brain decoding of individual finger movement intentions and control of a dexterous ...

Rodney Gorham recently passed a milestone that few people have reached. He’s had a brain-computer interface implanted for five years. Made by startup Synchron, the experimental implant allows him to ...

Brandon Patterson’s wildest dream for the brain-computer interface is to someday be able to drive his wheelchair with his mind, like Professor X in the X-Men comics.
