fNIRS technology is allowing ALS patients who are 'locked in' to communicate, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have developed a brain machine interface which can control a lower limb exoskeleton. Read More
University of Rochester researchers report low levels of electrical stimulation delivered to areas of the brain responsible for movement can instruct an appropriate response, replacing signals for sensory processing. Read More
Researchers develop a new blueprint for touch-sensitive prosthetic limbs. The findings could someday convey real-time sensory information for amputees. 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
Machine learning algorithm allows a brain-computer interface to readjust itself continually in the background to ensure the system is always calibrated and ready to use. Read More
Three days of training with brain-computer interface technology reduced phantom limb pain. Patients reported a 30% reduction in pain after one session, and the effect lasted up to five days after training was complete. Read More
The hand knob area of the premotor cortex operates across a wide range of motor functions and body areas. Read More
According to researchers, when learning a new task, the brain is less flexible than previously believed. Read More
New advances in brain computer interface technology allows three people with movement impairments to control a cursor by imagining their hand movements. Read More
A new system allows people to control musical systems and performances through brainwave signals. Read More
Researchers use non-invasive EEG technology to allow people to move a robotic arm with the power of their minds. Read More
