Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin have devised a brain-computer interface (BCI) to help improve the lives of people with motor disabilities. The new study differs from Musk-backed Neuralink’s BCI in a couple of ways, with it being external and its ability to be used by multiple patients. Brain-computer... Read more...
Neuralink’s first patient showed off his Jedi mind tricks on Elon Musk’s X platform via a livestream. During the livestream, 29-year-old Nolan Arbaugh said he has been able to play chess and Civilization VI thanks to the Neuralink brain implant. Arbaugh was chosen as the first human trial patient to receive a... Read more...
According to Elon Musk, the first human patient implanted with a brain chip from Neuralink can now control a mouse cursor by simply thinking about it. Musk also added that the patient appears to have fully recovered from the procedure that took place last month. Neuralink gained permission to begin screening for... Read more...
Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, has announced that its first human patient has received a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant. The procedure uses a surgical robot to place the BCI implant via a needle that is thinner than a human hair. The company received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to... Read more...
A company backed by Elon Musk, Neuralink, has gained FDA approval to launch its first-in-human clinical study. The company stated on Twitter that it is the result of the Neuralink team working closely with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and represents the first step that one day will allow the technology to...

A Tech start-up by the name of Synchron is developing an awe-inspiring device, that it says is capable of "unlocking the natural highways of the brain." The company's endovascular brain computer interface technology is claimed to be able to accesses every area of the brain utilizing the its natural highways, the blood... Read more...
A first-of-its-kind brain helmet is headed to the International Space Station to analyze and record neurological activity in microgravity. Brain.space will conduct the experiment using its proprietary EEG-enabled headset and be operated by the astronauts of Axiom-1 (AX-1). As NASA and others continue to work toward... Read more...
Here we are excited about things like ray tracing and the latest game controllers such as the PS5 DualSense with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. But folks, when it comes to the future of gaming, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell has some wild ideas. The DualSense might be cool now, but "meat peripherals" will... Read more...
Imagine a world where you could control a computer with your mind. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco Weill Institute for Neurosciences have created a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is reliant on machine learning. Paralyzed individuals were able to control a computer cursor with their... Read more...
Researchers in France have developed an exoskeleton suit that can be manipulated with a person's mind, via a surgical brain computer interface (BCI) implant. This suit allowed a paralyzed man to move both his arms and legs for the first time since suffering an injury that left him without the ability to perform those... Read more...
It already seems like big tech companies can read our minds—it's a bit eerie to see an ad for something that we were thinking about. You can chalk those instances up to a combination of fancy predicative algorithms and coincidence. Nevertheless, Facebook is actually developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can...
