Researchers show that when humans use brain-computer interface technology, the brain behaves much like it does when completing simple motor skills such as waving a hand. This technology could help improve the daily lives of those who are paralyzed or lost specific abilities due to neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
University of Tübingen researchers have measured the readiness potential and brain activity in people prior to embarking on a 192 meter bungee jump. Read More

Findings allow for the development of an autonomously updating brain-machine interface, which is able to improve on its own by learning about its subject without additional programming. The system could help develop new robotic prosthetics, which can perform more naturally. Read More
Coupling a non invasive brain computer interface with a virtual walking avatar may help those with gait disorders to regain control of their movements, a new study reports. Read More
A new study reveals a functional brain pattern linked to cognition, and with the help of a BMI, used it to activate an iPad's touch screen. Read More
Technological advances allow researchers to observe how the brain processes semantic information. Read More
Researchers have given rats the ability to "touch" infrared light by fitting them with an infrared detector wired to microscopic electrodes implanted in the part of the mammalian brain that processes tactile information. The study demonstrated that a novel sensory input could be processed by a cortical region specialized in another sense without "hijacking" the function of this brain area. Read More
