New Tasks Become as Simple as Waving a Hand with Brain-Computer Interfaces

Neuroscience NewsJune 11, 2013

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...

Neuroprosthesis Gives Rats the Ability to ‘Touch’ Infrared Light

Neuroscience NewsFebruary 12, 2013

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...

Researchers Describe Technology that Lets Spinal Cord Injured Man Control Robot Arm with Thoughts

Neuroscience NewsFebruary 8, 2013

Researchers describe how an electrode array sitting on top of the brain enabled a 30-year-old paralyzed man to control the movement of a character on a computer screen in three dimensions with just his thoughts. It also enabled him to move a robot arm to touch a friend’s hand for the first time in the seven years.... Read More...
