University of California, Davis researchers have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables computer cursor control and clicking, using neural signals from the speech motor cortex. One ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) sound like science fiction to most people. But this technology is getting real, quickly.

The human brain is remarkably complex, with trillions of connections that control how you move, think and feel. Yet it’s still vulnerable to debilitating conditions such as paralysis, stroke, epilepsy ...

Last summer, a team of researchers reported using a brain-computer interface to detect words people with paralysis imagined saying, even without them physically attempting to speak. They also found ...

Scientists have pinpointed brain activity related to inner speech—the silent monolog in people's heads—and successfully decoded it on command with up to 74% accuracy. "This is the first time we've ...

A participant is using the inner speech neuroprosthesis. The text above is the cued sentence, and the text below is what's being decoded in real-time as she imagines speaking the sentence. Scientists ...

In the first four months of 2026, three brain-computer interface companies earned FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, a regulatory milestone that grants priority review interactions for technologies ...

An important milestone for brain-computer interfaces has been achieved. A new peer-reviewed neuroscience study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) demonstrates a ...

In September 2024, California quietly set a precedent. Lawmakers passed SB 1223, an amendment to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that classifies neural ...

Forward-looking: Stanford University researchers have unveiled a brain-computer interface capable of translating imagined words directly from neural activity into speech – marking a first in ...
