Findings allow for the development of an autonomously updating brain-machine interface, which is able to improve on its own by learning about its subject without additional programming. The system could help develop new robotic prosthetics, which can perform more naturally. Read More
Neural activity patterns for limb movements remain stable over time. Researchers were able to record, decode, and reconstruct activity patterns from common movement skills. The findings could have immediate implications for the development of neuroprosthetics that can bypass brain injuries by inferring intended motor actions from a person's brain. Read More
Researchers develop a working prototype of a neurosurgical robot which can enter the brain through the cheek and perform delicate hippocampal surgeries for epilepsy patients. Read More
Human-robot interaction and monitoring motor movement may provide clues to developmental disorders such as ADHD and autism in children. Read More

Researchers at UCSD have developed a new gesture recognition glove that can wirelessly translate the ASL alphabet into text. The glove can also communicate back by controlling a virtual hand and mimicking gestures. Read More
Researchers have developed a new robotic learning system, called visual foresight, that allows robots to predict a series of movements they must perform in order to manipulate objects. Read More
