Neurotech company Synchron has unveiled the latest version of its brain-computer interface, which uses Nvidia technology and the Apple Vision Pro to enable individuals with paralysis to control ...

Brain-computer interfaces are typically unwieldy, which makes using them on the move a non-starter. A new neural interface small enough to be attached between the user’s hair follicles keeps working ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

Mark, a 64-year-old with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, uses Amazon Alexa all the time using his voice. But now, thanks to a brain implant, he can also control the virtual assistant with his ...

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 ...

Neuralink, Synchron, and Neuracle are expanding clinical trials and trying to zero in on an actual product. Tech companies are always trying out new ways for people to interact with computers—consider ...

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 ...

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 ...

People who have lost the ability to move or speak may soon have a new option: surgically implanted devices that link the brain to a computer. More than two decades after researchers first demonstrated ...

What are brain-computer interfaces? Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that allow for the action or control of an external device from brain signals. These technologies have a broad range of ...
