A new technique developed by neuroscientists at U of T Scarborough can, for the first time, reconstruct images of what people perceive based on their brain activity gathered by EEG. The tech... Read more
Imagine a question-and-answer game played by two people who are not in the same place and not talking to each other. Round after round, one player asks a series of questions and accurately g... Read more
The ability to walk has been restored following a spinal cord injury, using one’s own brain power, according to research published in the open access Journal of NeuroEngineering and Re... Read more
Speech is produced in the human cerebral cortex. Brain waves associated with speech processes can be directly recorded with electrodes located on the surface of the cortex. It has now been s... Read more
Research and science fiction has been fascinated by brain-machine or brain-computer interfaces – BCI for short – since the early 1970s Quite apart from cyborgs and the game industry, the mos... Read more
ETH researchers led by Professor Martin Fussenegger have developed the first gene network to be operated via brainwaves. Depending on the user’s thoughts, it can produce various amounts of a... Read more
New light-sensitive protein enables simpler, more powerful optogenetics. Optogenetics, a technology that allows scientists to control brain activity by shining light on neurons, relies on li... Read more
Pilots of the future could be able to control their aircraft by merely thinking commands. Scientists of the Technische Universität München and the TU Berlin have now demonstrated the feasibi... Read more
Admit it: Sometimes you just want to punch your PC, or slap your smartphone, or knock your notebook. We all get riled by technology once in a while, with all those feeble batteries, endless... Read more
Any fears of impending mind control are, at a minimum, premature, said Greely A brain region activated when people are asked to perform mathematical calculations in an experimental setting i... Read more
Innovation is all about putting on the proverbial thinking cap. Now engineers are vying to produce an actual thinking cap – at least one that can measure the most rudimentary signals of thou... Read more
Latest advances in capturing data on brain activity and eye movement are being combined to open up a host of ‘mindreading’ possibilities for the future. These include the potential developme... Read more
You may have had remote controlled airplanes growing up, but they probably weren’t as cool as the quadcopter. This tiny helicopter looks a lot like a toy, but it’s really a high-... Read more
Angel Perez Garcia can make a robot move exactly as he wants via the electrodes attached to his head. “I use the movements of my eyes, eyebrows and other parts of my face”, he sa... Read more
Mayo Clinic physicians in Arizona have shown that tablet computers can be used to analyze electroencephalogram or EEG results outside of the clinic or hospital. Their study findings w... Read more
