A newly developed machine learning model can predict the words a person is about to speak based on their neural activity recorded by a minimally invasive neuroprosthetic device.
Study reports that implanted brain-computer interfaces are similar in safety to more conventional brain implants used to manage neurodegenerative disorders.
Changes in body weight over a person's lifetime may predict dementia later in life, a new study reveals.
Brain-computer interfaces are currently being used to assist those with neuromuscular disorders in regaining everyday functions such as mobility and communication. The military is developing BCI technology to aid members in rapid response to threats. Researchers investigate the ethical questions of using neurotech such as BCI on the battle field.
New brain-machine interface technology allows those who are immobile to control their wheelchairs through mind control. The BMI allows users to traverse natural and cluttered environments after training.
A new brain-machine interface is the most accurate to date at predicting a person's internal monologue. The technology could be used to assist those with disorders affecting speech to effectively communicate.
The role exercise plays in maintaining insulin levels and BMI may help protect brain volume and stave off dementia in older adults.
Study finds less than 2/3 of people can correctly estimate their BMI, and less than half of people can identify their body size.
Retrofitting wireless earbuds to detect neural signals and relaying the data back to smartphones via Bluetooth, researchers say the new earEEG system could have multiple applications, including health monitoring.
Both physical and social factors play significant roles in depression and reports of poor wellbeing associated with obesity.
While there is an association between obesity during midlife and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, researchers say the link doesn't necessarily extend into later life. A new study revealed higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's and lower BMI, especially in older men, was linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and predicted the disease progression.
Contrary to popular belief, people with eating disorders like bulimia nervosa do not lose control and binge eat in response to stressful events.
