It is the stuff of science fiction: Researchers at Brown University have used a tiny array of electrodes to record, interpret and reconstruct the brain activity that controls hand movement - and they ...

Connect the dots: A digital painting created by a study participant with paralysis. The Pittsburgh-based team developed a new algorithm for deciphering brain signals in brain–computer interfaces, ...

When a paralyzed person imagines moving a limb, cells in the part of the brain that controls movement still activate as if trying to make the immobile limb work again. Despite neurological injury or ...

Researchers have designed the fastest, most accurate algorithm yet for brain-implantable prosthetic systems that can help disabled people maneuver computer cursors with their thoughts. The algorithm's ...

Scientists in the US have shown that thought alone can move a cursor across a computer screen. The system being tested in monkeys is suited to human use and could help paralysed individuals to regain ...

Researchers used machine learning to help a paralysed person control mouse cursor using their brain activity. The individual did not require extensive training. A team from University of California ...
