An Amazing Brain-Computer Interface That Converts Thoughts Into Text Messages

Advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are being developed and these may make it possible to restore normalcy in people affected by paralysis. BCIs acquire brain signals, analyze them, and translate them into commands that are relayed to output devices that carry out desired actions. Brain-computer interfaces do not use normal neuromuscular output pathways. The main goal ...

Elon Musk’s Brain-Computer Interface Is Now Being Tested on Animals

The Neuralink project has reportedly entered the animal testing phase, making Elon Musk’s ambitious brain-computer interface (BCI) plans one step closer to reality. However, the development of BCI also raises some very serious ethical issues. The animal testing phase When it began operations, Neuralink had rented two floors of a building in San Francisco, initially ...

Blending Human Brains With Artificial Intelligence

The ability to learn and understand new things is one of the most amazing functions of human brains. Though scientists have been looking for ways to find out how the learning process exactly works, they were only just able to scratch the surface of the secret. But now, a team of researchers from the University ...
