Learning a new skill may involve the generation of new neural activity patterns.
A minimally invasive brain implant is to be tested on humans for the first time. The device, named Stentrode, will be placed in blood vessels in the motor cortex, and researchers believe it will help improve movement and speech for those with a range of neurological disorders.
Researchers discuss the potential of deep brain stimulation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, OCD, Tourette syndrome and other disorders.
Neurofeedback can be used to modify a person's state of arousal in order to improve performance in sensory motor tasks, biomedical engineers report.
Asking participants to bungee jump helps researchers measure Bereitschaftspotential, or readiness potential, outside the lab setting. Researchers say their findings will help in the development of BCIs to assist quadriplegics to control neuroprosthetics.
Researchers report a brain computer interface can enable those with paralysis to directly operate tablet technology just by thinking about cursor movements and clicks.
Study shows pilots in real flight conditions made more errors and had higher anterior prefrontal cortex activation than those who were placed in a simulator, when completing cognitively demanding tasks.
Training tetraplegic patients to compete in an online competition to control an avatar with BCI, researchers report the most dramatic improvements in computer augmented performance occurs when both humans and machines are able to learn.
Vanderbilt researchers have been awarded a new grant to develop a novel brain machine interface that utilizes both an ultrasound helmet and EEG.
According to researchers, when learning a new task, the brain is less flexible than previously believed.
University of Pennsylvania researchers use cryptographic techniques to decode the activity of motor neurons.
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.
