For people with severe motor impairments, a simple conversation can take minutes instead of seconds. Assistant Professor of Computer Science Dylan Gaines is developing technology to change that, ...

A new deep-brain BCI from Tsinghua University uses the lateral ventricles to record neural signals. This "lantern" electrode avoids immune rejection and achieves 98% accuracy in predicting behavior.

It's been a long time since Alice Charton got a good look at a human face. There are plenty of people moving through her world, of course—her husband, her friends, her doctors, her neighbors—but ...

O. Rose Broderick reports on the health policies and technologies that govern people with disabilities’ lives. Before coming to STAT, she worked at WNYC’s Radiolab and Scientific American, and her ...

A high-stakes technology race is playing out in the human brain. Brain-computer interfaces are already letting people with paralysis control computers and communicate their needs, and will soon enable ...

Brain computer interface technology is rapidly advancing, allowing neural signals to translate into digital commands. Experiments like Neuralink Synchron trials demonstrate thought-controlled cursors, ...
