Picking up a cup of coffee, flipping a light switch or grabbing a door handle don't require much apparent thought. But behind ...

A new brain-computer interface (BCI) has enabled a paralyzed man to control a robotic arm by simply imagining movements.

Join STAT and NOVA for a discussion on the documentary “Augmented,” exploring the pioneering amputation surgery described in the film and new advances in brain-controlled prosthetic limbs.

Velliste et al. now report that monkeys can perform a continuous feeding task by use of a brain–machine interface in which cortical signals control a human-like prosthetic arm. Two Macaca ...

The most remarkable thing about these prosthetic arms is primarily the neural link with [Buz’s] brain, which allows him to not only control the artificial arms, but also feel what they are ...

Jef Akst was managing editor of The Scientist, where she started as an intern in 2009 after receiving a master’s degree from Indiana University in April 2009 studying the mating behavior of seahorses.

Researchers in the United States have developed a robotic arm controlled directly ... it a remarkable step forward for prosthetics controlled directly by the brain. Other systems have already ...

Of course, if you’re going to build a prosthetic robotic arm, you have to have some sort of brain-machine interface. Previously, the team was using Myoware muscle sensors to control the opening ...

The BrainRobotics prosthetic hand is a first in its ... the hand to process muscle signals from the user’s arm, allowing more accurate control over grips and hand motions. Although the product ...

Researchers from Skoltech, prosthetics ... studied their brain activity records. The study came out in Frontiers in Neuroscience. The research team worked with two patients with arm amputation ...

I hope to become a neurosurgeon with a concentration in brain-computer interfaces ... and another controlled by the mind through machine learning. The prosthetic hand can classify between ...
