How AI deciphers neural signals to help a man with ALS speak

Brain-computer interfaces are a breakthrough technology that could help paralyzed people regain functions they’ve lost, such as moving a hand. These devices record signals from the brain and decipher the user’s intended action, bypassing damaged or degraded nerves that would normally transmit brain signals to control muscles. Since 2006, demonstrations of brain-computer interfaces in humans … Read more

Big Tech sees neurotechnology as the next AI frontier

Neurotechnology using artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities in healthcare that did not exist before. Companies and researchers have been exploring implantable devices that interpret signals in the brain and translate them into words or physical commands for decades. The technology isn’t new, but now artificial intelligence is accelerating progress, allowing people affected by debilitating … Read more
