Mark Zuckerberg recently reiterated that brain-to-brain interfacing is our species future. Today, scientists can have participants move things on a screen with their mind and signal to one another across vast distances. It may someday have therapeutic uses for ADHD, give us sense experiences not akin to our species, and even allow advertisers to invade our minds.
We are entering a new generation of prostheses. In years to come bionic limbs will become a reality. Soon the paralyzed and amputees will have limbs that they can use as if they were their real arms and legs. Learn more about this development and the technology behind it.
Two individuals separated by 5,000 miles have successfully communicated without typing or saying a word to each other. Rather it was their brains that did the talking.
It’s an impressive project that can push the frontiers in one field, a new crowdfunded project looks set to make a splash in three. Until now, the research grade EEG […]
We humans are those simple individual life forms that are beginning to bring technology into our bodies, whether it’s the cell phone or eventually brain/computer interface.
Oxford researchers say we are only a few decades away from a chance at digital immortality.
We will have abundance in terms of knowledge and equality and we won’t have the bottom billion anymore, but what I call the rising billion.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have created a brain-computer interface that allows a person to guide a flying robot with their thoughts.
University of Minnesota researchers have built a toy-sized aircraft that moves in response to wireless signals interpreted by an EEG cap.
While technology companies once focused on simple biological gestures to operate electronic products, today they are working to harness the power of the mind to alter physical realities.
Newly published in PLoS Computational Biology is a study describing new technology that safely delivers controlled anesthesia without requiring consistent human monitoring.
Engineers have improved on the original and groundbreaking brain-computer interface by creating a wireless device that has successfully been implanted into the brains of monkeys and pigs.
Recent advances in brain-computer interfaces, which may facilitate brain-brain communication, raise the specter of comic book heroes who effortlessly “talk” to each other without talking at all.
“The Internet was a way to connect computers, and now it can be a way to connect brains.”
Advances in human genome sequencing and brain-computer interface will help medical professional diagnose disease earlier and develop new technology for more direct treatments.
1. Every Big Idea Was First A Crazy Idea Fred Guterl, executive editor of Scientific American, does a nice job of highlighting some of the crazy ideas presented at this year’s TED […]
Brain-computer interfacing has allowed quadriplegics to move robotic arms and hands with impressive dexterity. Researchers hope the technology will allow them increased autonomy in life.
Online data fed directly into the brains of human beings via a “software/wetware” interface? We’re closer than you think. But the impact on humanity may be devastating.
There has been much focus over recent years, on brain machine interfaces (BMI) allowing for the direct control of a computer by electrodes placed on or near the brain. Unfortunately […]
The robot band cannot replicate the punk attitude of the Ramones or the soulfulness of B.B. King. Yet.
The breakthrough innovation development of the year so far is the White House’s upcoming plan to map the entire human brain. By essentially enabling us to reverse-engineer the human brain, the Brain […]
A company has started an Indiegogo campaign to bring its Muse wearable headband to market. Writer Stacey Higginbotham describes what has to happen to make this kind of interface a commercial success.
Scientists have hoped that one day people with severe forms of paralysis could use brain-computer interfaces to perform tasks to better their lives. That day has now come.
Are we somehow becoming “more than human”?
