      Wireless Brain-Spine Interface: A Leap Towards Reversing Paralysis

      In a pioneering study, researchers designed a wireless brain-spine interface enabling a paralyzed man to walk naturally again. The 'digital bridge' comprises two electronic implants — one on the brain and another on the spinal cord — that decode brain signals and stimulate the spinal cord to activate leg muscles.

      AI Breakthrough Detects Alzheimer’s Early With Smartphones

      Researchers are developing a machine learning model aimed at early detection of Alzheimer's dementia. This model, potentially accessible via smartphones, can distinguish between Alzheimer's patients and healthy individuals with 70-75% accuracy. By focusing on speech patterns rather than content, the tool could offer invaluable early indicators, potentially initiating earlier treatment and slowing disease progression.

      AI-Equipped Eyeglasses Read Silent Speech

      Researchers have developed a wearable interface called EchoSpeech, which recognizes silent speech by tracking lip and mouth movements through acoustic-sensing and AI. The device requires minimal user training and recognizes up to 31 unvocalized commands. The system could be used to give voice to those who are unable to vocalize sound or communicate silently with others.
