What the world’s fastest brain-typist is telling us about the future of computer interfaces. In a 12-by-20-foot room at a skilled-nursing facility in Menlo Park, California, researchers are testing ...

On Sunday’s episode of The Excerpt podcast: Brain-computer interfaces promise breakthroughs in restoring lost function and beyond. But they also raise ethical and societal questions about the linking ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) sound like science fiction to most people. But this technology is getting real, quickly.

Elon Musk co-founded Neuralink in 2016 to develop brain-machine interfaces. The first product — the N1 implant — focuses on allowing patients with paralysis to control computer cursors with their mind ...

Already, brain-computer interfaces have helped to control epileptic seizures and decrease tremors in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The next wave will tackle even more complex applications, like ...

When Jaimie Henderson was 5 years old, his father was in a devastating car crash. The accident left his father barely able to move or speak. Henderson remembers laughing at his dad's jokes, though he ...

One rainy day, Bill was riding his bicycle when the mail truck in front of him suddenly stopped. Bill didn't. The crash left him paralyzed from the chest down. His autonomy, or what's left of it, ...

Brain-computer interfaces are a groundbreaking technology that can help paralyzed people regain functions they’ve lost, like moving a hand. These devices record signals from the brain and decipher the ...

A new kind of neural interface system that coordinates the activity of hundreds of tiny brain sensors could one day deepen understanding of the brain and lead to new medical therapies. Brain-computer ...

In a policy document released this month, China has signaled its ambition to become a world leader in brain-computer interfaces, the same technology that Elon Musk’s Neuralink and other US startups ...
