The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest ...

Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

Meta is testing artificial intelligence systems that can turn patterns of brain activity into text, effectively letting people “type” with their thoughts while lying inside a scanner. The work is ...

Before a car crash in 2008 left her paralysed from the neck down, Nancy Smith enjoyed playing the piano. Years later, Smith started making music again, thanks to an implant that recorded and analysed ...

Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) represent a transformative field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering and computer science, allowing for direct communication between the brain and external ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examine neural networks in the left language-dominant hemisphere responsible for semantic integration using intracranial recordings in ...

A research team has developed a novel machine-learning algorithm that can reveal the hidden structure in data recorded from the brain, predicting complex information such as what mice see. Is it ...

It is by now old news that scientists can read out aspects of your internal conscious experience by recording neural signals. But a new study of this kind involving music is still a remarkable ...

Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates is a documentary series that delves deep into Bill Gates’ personal life and work, exploring the behind-the-scenes actions behind his achievements. Season 1 ...

Emotions are an important part of human intelligence. Identifying specific emotional categories from complex neural patterns, i.e., the neural decoding of emotional information, is a key issue in ...

The human brain and body are intricate systems that have been fine-tuned over millions of years to prioritize survival. One of the ways they achieve this is by favoring the status quo, or what is ...
