California-based Cognixion is launching a clinical trial to allow paralyzed patients with speech disorders the ability to communicate without an invasive brain implant. Cognixion is one of several ...

Imagine being able to compose an email or steer a wheelchair directly with your thoughts. For millions of people living with neurological disorders such as ALS, this possibility could be life-changing ...

A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...

Sam Altman has tapped Mikhail Shapiro, an award-winning biomolecular engineer, to join the Merge Labs brain-computer ...

Surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can also eavesdrop on their inner monologue. That's the conclusion of a study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the journal Cell.

Since then, scientists have designed and developed BCIs that have enabled people with quadriplegia to control a computer cursor, a robotic arm, and even move their own limb. Recently, a person with ...

On this episode of Uncanny Valley, we dive into the heated race between two companies to build a commercial brain-computer interface. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our ...

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 ...

An important milestone for brain-computer interfaces has been achieved. A new peer-reviewed neuroscience study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) demonstrates a ...

A team at the Technical University of Munich's TUM University Hospital has implanted a brain‐computer interface in a patient paralyzed from the neck down. The five‐hour procedure was the first of its ...
