Casey Harrell, a man with the progressive muscle disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), reacts to using a brain-computer interface to 'speak' for the first time. The device interprets brain ...
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 ...
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 new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological ...
An advanced brain-computer interface (BCI) that can translate brain signals into speech with up to 97% accuracy, has restored the speech of a man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). "Previous ...
But a month after a surgery in which Harrell had four 3-by-3 millimeter arrays of electrodes implanted in his brain that July, he was suddenly able to tell his little girl whatever he wanted. The ...
"When spinal cord injury or motor neuron disease severs the neural pathway between the brain and limbs, BCI can bypass the ...
Elon Musk's startup Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain-computer interface into a man named Brad Smith, who has ALS and is completely non-verbal, allowing him to communicate now using ...
The brain-computer interface developer Synchron has shown that its minimally invasive device can help connect a patient with an iPad, allowing them to control the device entirely by thought using ...
Anew brain-computer interface (BCI) developed at UC Davis Health translates brain signals into speech with up to 97 percent accuracy — the most accurate system of its kind. The researchers implanted ...
