A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...
At first glance, the idea sounds implausible: a computer made not of silicon, but of living brain cells. It’s the kind of ...
At the 2025 AI-Driven Science Symposium, Tianqiao Chen, founder of the Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute, first introduced ...
A patient suffering from tetraplegia steered a smart wheelchair through the neighborhood with only his thoughts and directed ...
A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a paper-thin, wireless, high-bandwidth link directly to the brain. With over 65 ...
An evolving technology is changing the lives of people with paralysis: brain-computer interfaces (BCI). These are devices that are implanted in the brain and record neural activity, then translate ...
A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and ...
Last week I had the privilege to attend the inaugural New York BCI Symposium, a one-of-a-kind gathering that validated the astonishing popular appeal of BCI by spotlighting the field’s future ...

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have enabled a paralyzed man to control robots and wheelchairs, and to perform paid work, using only brain signals.
According to researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the trial involved a patient with tetraplegia following ...
Whether it’s jacking into the Matrix or becoming a Na’avi in Avatar, connecting brains to computers is a science-fiction trope that I never thought I’d see become a reality. But increasingly, BCIs ...
