Dual Brain-Machine Interfaces Unlock Bionic Hand Kinesthesia

A new study combining data from two distinct brain-machine interfaces has revealed that the human brain processes artificial movement sensations as coordinated, subconscious hand synergies rather than isolated muscle signals, paving the way for intuitive, bi-directional permanent prosthetic implants.

Could Alzheimer’s Begin in the Nerves, Not the Brain?

Researchers using "human-on-a-chip" technology have found that Alzheimer's-related movement issues may start in the peripheral nerves, rather than the brain, offering a new path for early diagnosis.

The Brain Has a Dance Mode, And AI Just Mapped It

A team of researchers used a massive dance video dataset and advanced AI models to map how the human brain interprets dance, revealing striking differences between experts and nonexperts. By pairing fMRI recordings with AI-derived cross-modal features, they found that higher-order brain regions outperform simple motion or sound cues when processing choreography.

Brain’s “Hourglass Timer” Controls the Precise Timing of Movement

Researchers have discovered how the brain keeps time for precise movements, revealing a neural “hourglass” mechanism between the motor cortex and striatum. The motor cortex sends timing signals that accumulate in the striatum until they reach a threshold that triggers action.
