While these examples may sound like science fiction, the science to develop neurotechnologies like these is already in development. Brain-computer interfaces, or BCI, are technologies that decode and ...

A brain computer interface (BCI) is a neural device that translates a person’s brain activity into external responses or directives. For example, a BCI can allow someone who is paralyzed to direct a ...

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 ...

In Alexandre Dumas’s classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo, a character named Monsieur Noirtier de Villefort suffers a terrible stroke that leaves him paralyzed. Though he remains awake and aware, ...

In recent years, experimental brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has made progress toward giving severely paralyzed patients hand-free control of computers by using only their thoughts. And now ...

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 ...

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 ...

In September 2024, California quietly set a precedent. Lawmakers passed SB 1223, an amendment to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that classifies neural ...

Some call it a major step forward for medicine. And a major step forward for engineering. The new field of neuroengineering combines bioengineering with the neurosciences. The University of Alabama at ...
