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 ...

For years, scientists have studied how the brain controls movement by asking patients to perform structured tasks while connected to multiple sensors in a lab. While these studies have provided ...

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 ...

A new technique for monitoring brain waves can identify the music someone is hearing. Researchers at the University of Essex hope the project could lead to helping people with severe communication ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ever wondered how your brain decides when to act? Initiating actions with a specific goal in mind is a complex process. Previous research has identified certain parts of the brain and chemical signals ...

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 ...
