There is a major push for using AI in real-time brain-computer interfaces. To that end, researchers at the USC Center for Neurotechnology have developed an advanced deep-learning method for brain signals that can perform real-time decoding…

Trying to pick up faint microscopic signals is no easy task.  As a result, researchers find it difficult to catch small things happening in cells or other materials. Boston University is creating advanced techniques to make microscopes…

Researchers from Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute created tiny biological robots called Anthrobots from human tracheal cells. In a lab dish, the robots move across a surface and encourage the growth of neurons across…

Scientists developed a robotic hand made from soft materials with an advantage over conventional metal robots. First author Robert Katzschmann, professor of robotics at ETH Zurich, claims it is the most human-like robotic hand available,…

Most of us know family members or friends who have had a stroke. More than 15 million people globally experience strokes each year, with 75% of them experiencing impairment, weakness, and even paralysis in their arms and hands. Typically,…

International researchers have developed a handheld, non-invasive device that detects Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease biomarkers. The biosensor delivers results wirelessly to a laptop or smartphone. The team presented their findings in…

In its innovation of unique technologies for use in space, NASA has developed and licensed a myriad of treatments and products, especially for those with injuries and disabilities. Examples include an “anti-gravity" treadmill used by…

Researchers at the University of Oxford may provide the mechanism to repair brain injuries, demonstrating that neural cells can be 3D printed to mimic the architecture of the cerebral cortex. The results are published today in the journal …

Sweat, when monitored, reveals valuable information about human health. Wearable sensors developed to monitor glucose levels have thus far been insufficient—until now. Penn State researchers created a novel wearable patch that may be up to…

Sorry, Shakespeare, I just had to use this headline as Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain-computer interface (BCI) start-up, is recruiting people for its first human trial—the goal is connecting human brains to computers. Initially, the company…
