BrainGate develops a wireless BCI

Details
Created: 15 January 2015

A wireless transmitter could give paralyzed people a practical way to control TVs, computers, or wheelchairs with their thoughts. After more than a decade of engineering work, researchers at Brown University and a Utah company, Blackrock Microsystems, have commercialized a wireless device that can be attached to a person’s skull and transmit via radio thought commands collected from a brain implant.

Could we one day hook up our brains to the internet? Rose Eveleth investigates a claim for the first online message sent between two minds. (BBC)

"Brain box" allows paralyzed to make music

Details
Created: 05 January 2015

Ever since musician Eduardo Miranda met a patient with locked-in syndrome eleven years ago, he has been on a mission to create a way for the paralyzed to make music. His latest invention is the brain computer music interface (BCMI), which allows people to create music using just their eyes. (CNN)

Brain-computer interface enables locked-in brain stroke sufferer to communicate

Details
Created: 05 January 2015

By enabling users to communicate and control devices with their thoughts, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) hold almost a scary amount of potential. While they have achieved feats such as directing the flight of a quadcopter and helping victims of paralysis to communicate, sufferers of brainstem stroke with locked-in syndrome have so far been beyond reach. But now, a researcher at East Tennessee State University has demonstrated BCIs may in fact give brainstem stroke patients a voice again, with very specific brainwaves serving as a typing finger for a virtual keyboard .

Thought-controlled robotic arms

Details
Created: 05 January 2015

In 2012, University of Pittsburgh researchers released a video of Jan Scheuermann feeding herself a bite of chocolate. This, of course, wouldn’t be noteworthy but for one thing: Scheuermann is paralyzed from the neck down . She fed herself that chocolate using a brain implant and thought-controlled robotic arm.
