Brain-machine interfaces: shortened training time
New research has provided preliminary evidence that training time can be shortened & that user performance tends to improve within a relatively short period of time.
brain-computer interface
Nanoprobes: a leap forward in human-machine interfaces
Machine enhanced humans – or cyborgs as they are known in science fiction – could be one step closer to becoming a reality.
A mind-controlled robotic arm without brain implants
Researchers show that by using a noninvasive brain-computer interface they could control a robotic arm that’s tracking a cursor on a computer screen.
Brain-computer interface creates synthetic speech
A state-of-the-art brain-machine interface created by UC San Francisco neuroscientists can generate natural-sounding synthetic speech by using brain activity to control a virtual vocal tract – an anatomically detailed computer simulation including the lips, jaw, tongue and larynx.
Brain-computer interface can improve your performance
Researchers have shown that they can use online neurofeedback to modify an individual's arousal state to improve performance in a demanding sensory motor task.
Brain-computer interface enables paralysed to control tablets
Research from the BrainGate consortium shows that a brain-computer interface (BCI) can enable people with paralysis to directly operate an off-the-shelf tablet device just by thinking about making cursor movements and clicks.
Nerve-on-a-chip improves neuroprosthetics
Scientists have developed a miniaturized electronic platform for the stimulation and recording of peripheral nerve fibers-on-a-chip.
Building brain-controlled prosthetic limbs
Neuroscience researchers University of Chicago receive $3.4 million NIH grant to develop brain-controlled prosthetic limbs.
‘Smart’ robotic system could offer home-based rehabilitation
An engineer is leading a team of researchers, health care providers and industry to fast-track the commercialization of a groundbreaking robotic rehabilitation system.
AI decodes conversations in brain’s motor cortex
Engineers use deep learning to decode the conversation between brain and arm, by analyzing electrical patterns in the motor control areas of the brain.
Thought-controlled neuroprosthetics: the MoreGrasp project
Getting a better grip on things: The MoreGrasp Horizon2020 research project is coming to an end with significant results in the field of thought-controlled grasp neuroprosthetics. A large-scale feasibility study is underway.
