A team at UC Davis has made a major leap in neurotechnology, enabling a man with ALS to speak again through a brain-computer interface that converts thoughts into speech in real time. Unlike prior ...

University of California, Davis researchers have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables computer cursor control and clicking, using neural signals from the speech motor cortex. One ...

Last summer, a team of researchers reported using a brain-computer interface to detect words people with paralysis imagined saying, even without them physically attempting to speak. They also found ...

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 ...

When someone loses the ability to speak because of a neurological condition like ALS, the impact goes far beyond words. It touches every part of daily life, from sharing a joke with family to simply ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are emerging as a groundbreaking technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way humans interact with machines. By bridging the gap between human cognition ...

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 ...
