Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

The experiment was conducted by researchers at Stanford University in the United States as part of a wider study involving patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegener ...

Before a car crash in 2008 left her paralysed from the neck down, Nancy Smith enjoyed playing the piano. Years later, Smith started making music again, thanks to an implant that recorded and analysed ...

Emotions are an important part of human intelligence. Identifying specific emotional categories from complex neural patterns, i.e., the neural decoding of emotional information, is a key issue in ...

Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) represent a transformative field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering and computer science, allowing for direct communication between the brain and external ...

Scientists have pinpointed brain activity related to inner speech—the silent monolog in people's heads—and successfully decoded it on command with up to 74% accuracy. "This is the first time we've ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examine neural networks in the left language-dominant hemisphere responsible for semantic integration using intracranial recordings in ...
