Artificial intelligence is starting to do more than transcribe what we say. By learning to read the brain’s own electrical chatter, it is beginning to expose the hidden steps our neurons take as they ...

Neuroscientists are striving to give a voice to people unable to speak in a fast-advancing quest to harness brainwaves to restore or enhance physical abilities. Researchers at universities across ...

The claustrum complex, a small yet powerful region in the brain, has intrigued scientists for years. Found across mammalian species, reptiles, and birds, this conserved brain structure is believed to ...

Speaking is one of the most complicated things a human can do. Before you even say a word, your brain has to translate what you want to say into a perfectly sequenced set of instructions to the dozens ...

As they age, some people find it harder to understand speech in noisy environments. Now, UB researchers have identified the area in the brain, called the insula, that shows significant changes in ...

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 ...

A U.S. neurotechnology startup called Paradromics is gaining momentum in the fast-growing field of brain-computer interfaces. The FDA has approved its first human trial built to test whether its fully ...

UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco researchers have announced a breakthrough in the development of a brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis, which aids in restoring naturalistic speech to people with paralysis.

Surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can also eavesdrop on their inner monologue. That's the conclusion of a study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the journal Cell.

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 ...

After a brain stem stroke left him almost entirely paralyzed in the 1990s, French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote a book about his experiences—letter by letter, blinking his left eye in response ...
