When someone loses the ability to speak because of a neurological condition like ALS, the impact goes far beyond words. It touches every part of daily life, from sharing a joke with family to simply ...

In another advancement in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCI), a new implant-based system has enabled a paralyzed person to not only talk, but also 'sing' simple melodies through a computer – ...

California-based Cognixion is launching a clinical trial to allow paralyzed patients with speech disorders the ability to communicate without an invasive brain implant. Cognixion is one of several ...

A brain–computer interface has enabled a man with paralysis to speak through a computer. The system records the activity of hundreds of neurons and translates them into voice in real time, effectively ...

Neurotech company Synchron has unveiled the latest version of its brain-computer interface, which uses Nvidia technology and the Apple Vision Pro to enable individuals with paralysis to control ...

A team at UC Davis has made a major leap in neurotechnology, enabling a man with ALS to speak again through a brain-computer interface that converts thoughts into speech in real time. Unlike prior ...

Since then, scientists have designed and developed BCIs that have enabled people with quadriplegia to control a computer cursor, a robotic arm, and even move their own limb. Recently, a person with ...

A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...

Scientists have developed a device that can translate thoughts about speech into spoken words in real time. Although it’s still experimental, they hope the brain-computer interface could someday help ...

Unlike other interfaces—which sound stiff and robotic, like early smart assistants—this one imitates the sound and cadence of real human speech. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

Synchron makes the Stentrode, a brain-computer interface (BCI) implanted in 10 people since 2019. That's three more than have an implant from Elon Musk’s Neuralink. We wait on a leather loveseat next ...
