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.
Focused ultrasound allowed researchers to record and monitor brain activity in a non-invasive way. The technology allowed the researchers to predict movement.
The brain makes mistakes because it applies incorrect inner beliefs about how the world works, new study reports.
Researchers have been able to link the brains of primates and the brains of rodents, allowing the animals to exchange motor and sensory information to control movement or complete computations in real time.
Researchers use computer technology to help understand how the brain circuitry controls movement.
People recognize and remember music better if they have performed it in the past rather than only heard it, new research claims.
Researchers restored behavior in a rat model of TBI using a neuroprosthetic device.
Advances in robotics have made it possible to create artificial legs that can duplicate the natural movement of human legs. The research could help improve the mobility of lower-limb amputees.
Using a brain machine interface, monkeys learn to control the movement of two virtual arms, a new study reports.
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.
Researchers electronically linked the brains of pairs of rats for the first time, enabling them to communicate directly to solve simple behavioral puzzles. A further test of this work successfully linked the brains of two animals thousands of miles apart - one in Durham, N.C., and one in Natal, Brazil.
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.
