Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) sound like science fiction to most people. But this technology is getting real, quickly.

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

Inside the brain is a dense network of neurons that receive, process, and relay information. The synapse, where neurons meet, ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...

A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...

The rapidly-improving speed and versatility of digital computers has mostly driven analogue computers out of use in modern systems, as has the relative difficulty of programming an analogue computer.

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. Researchers at Australian ...

Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the nineties shooter game "Doom" and say they are just scratching the surface of what the neurons could be ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a fundamental principle underlying how the human brain processes ...

A 25-year study of ‘superagers’ reveals the brain and lifestyle factors that help some older adults defy typical memory decline, offering clues for boosting cognitive resilience across the lifespan.
