KI-Gehirn-Chip bei Querschnittlähmung: Was bringt ein in das Gehirn implantierter Chip Menschen mit Querschnittlähmung mehr an Lebensqualität und Mobilität?

A hidden Markov model that uses probabilistic retrospective inference allows for up to one month of unsupervised recalibration in an online cursor-based intracortical brain–machine interface.

A fundamental question in neuroscience is whether the brain uses specialized sub-systems for different types of decisions or relies on a unified decision-making network. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)...

A flexible micro-electrocorticography brain–computer interface that integrates a 256 × 256 array of electrodes, signal processing, data telemetry and wireless powering on a single complementary metal–...

While deep learning has enabled the decoding of language from intracranial brain recordings, achieving this with non-invasive recordings remains an open challenge. Here the authors introduce a deep le...

This study shows that non-invasive ultrasound to the human nucleus accumbens can modulate deep brain activity and enhance reward-guided learning, offering a potential alternative to invasive neuromodu...

Error recognition is fundamental to adaptive behavior, enabling rapid compensatory action when outcomes deviate from expectations. Central to this function are neural circuits for performance monitori...

The LGN is a critical stage between the retina and visual cortex, but the properties of human LGN neurons are not fully understood. Here the authors report that they closely resemble those in monkeys ...

The human superior temporal gyrus processes acoustic–phonetic properties of speech regardless of whether the language is familiar to the listener, but only encodes word boundaries and language-sp...

The Austin-based startup will test its high-bandwidth device to help restore speech in people with extremely limited movement.

We perceive continuous speech as a series of discrete words, despite the lack of clear acoustic boundaries. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) encodes …

Visual prostheses are improved by decoding neural signals to predict and control visual perceptions in blind individuals.

Synchron Inc. raised $200 million to advance its work building brain implants that doctors can insert through blood vessels, avoiding the costly and high-risk surgeries necessary to install devices ma...

Translational Psychiatry - Invasive brain mapping identifies personalized therapeutic neuromodulation targets that suppress OCD network activity

Over 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy, and many patients remain resistant to medication. Here, the authors hypothesized that targeting thalamic nuclei with precise anatomical...

Geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and affects more than 5 million persons worldwide. No therapies to restore vision in ...

A team at the Technical University of Munich’s TUM University Hospital has implanted a brain-computer interface in a patient paralyzed from the neck down.

The functional organization of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) for guiding eye movements has remained unknown. Here, the authors use functional ultrasound neuroimaging to reveal small, tuned clust...

A 1,024-channel microelectrode array is delivered to the brain cortex via a minimally invasive incision in the skull and dura, and allows recording, stimulation and neural decoding across large portions of the brain in porcine models and human neurosurgical patients.

Speech brain-computer interfaces face challenges scaling across individuals with different brain organization. Using minimally invasive recordings from 25 patients, the authors developed transfer learning methods that enable robust speech decoding even with incomplete brain coverage.

Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) has the potential to restore vision and hearing by stimulating relevant cortical regions in both animals and hum…

The neuronal architecture that develops after spinal cord injury and causes autonomic dysreflexia is uncovered.

A purpose-built implantable system based on biomimetic epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord reduces the severity of hypotensive complications in people with spinal cord injury and improv...

Intravascular electroencephalography (ivEEG) using micro-intravascular electrodes was developed. Cortical-vein ivEEG showed a higher signal-to-noise ratio and finer spatial resolution of somatosensor....

Modulating deep brain structure can lead to therapies for neurological conditions. Here, the authors show a transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) system featuring a 256-element helmet-shaped trans...

The brain implant company cofounded by Elon Musk filed to trademark the product names Telepathy and Telekinesis. But it turns out that another person had already filed to trademark those names.

Inner speech is robustly represented in the motor cortex and can be decoded in real time to restore communication to people with paralysis. Unintentional decoding of private inner speech can be preven...

Merge Labs is a new Neuralink rival developing brain-computer interfaces.

Marking a milestone for CorTec. The First implantation of the Brain Interchange System took place at Harborview Medical Center (Seattle).

Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink Corp. expects to put its chips in 20,000 people a year by 2031, generating at least $1 billion in annual revenue, in a major ramp up of its work to treat di...

A high-bandwidth neuromotor interface offers performant out-of-the-box generalization across people.

Nudge - Whole-brain interfaces for everyday life

The neural processes involved in memory formation for realistic experiences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors found that ripple-like activity in the human hippocampus and neocortex tracks ke...

How the cortex generates movement to achieve different tasks remains poorly understood. Here the authors show that the cortex serializes motor control by first performing task-specific computations in...
