Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have measured neural firing in the motor cortices of two tetraplegic subjects using intracortical electrodes (electrodes implanted directly into the brain).

There are now at least two patients who have had Neuralink's brain chip implanted in their head. While there have been some bumps in the road, it appears that things are going well enough for Elon ...

A remarkable new study demonstrates how a trio of monkeys – all amputees – controlled a robotic arm using only their minds. University of Chicago researchers implanted the rhesus monkeys with ...

NEW YORK (AP) Using only her thoughts, a Massachusetts woman paralyzed for 15 years directed a robotic arm to pick up a bottle of coffee and bring it to her lips, researchers report in the latest ...

Johns Hopkins APL has installed a state-of-the-art robotic arm to advance repair and manufacturing for the maritime ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the field of noninvasive robotic device control. Using a noninvasive brain-computer interface (BCI), researchers have developed the first-ever successful ...

It would be fair to think that somebody with a robotic arm might not be well suited to playing the piano: That’s one of the most dexterous things I can think of doing, and artificial limbs are often ...

Neuroscientists have shown how amputees can learn to control a robotic arm through electrodes implanted in the brain. The research details changes that take place in both sides of the brain used to ...
