The word “bionic” conjures sci-fi visions of humans enhanced to superhuman levels. It’s true that engineering advances such as better motors and batteries, together with modern computing, mean that ...

An illustration showing a paralyzed individual with a spinal cord injury, implanted with intracortical electrodes in the brain. This brain-computer interface (BCI) allows the individual to control a ...

Elon Musk’s Neuralink suggests a human patient may have successfully used its brain chip to control a robotic arm. A video posted by the neurotechnology firm shows a robotic arm writing ‘Convoy’ on a ...

In the ever-evolving landscape where technology intersects with healthcare, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are emerging as a transformative force, turning the once-fantastic imaginings of science ...

Virtual reality and non-invasive brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are able to help those who are paralysed regain touch sensations and also some voluntary control of muscles in their legs. A new study, ...

Part 1 of a three-part series unpacks how a researcher strives to improve performance by merging neuroscience and human motor control with robotics and artificial intelligence. The first objective is ...
