Technology to restore the ability to communicate in paralyzed persons who cannot speak has the potential to improve autonomy and quality of life. An approach that decodes words and sentences directly ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers performed high-resolution, micro-electrocorticographic (µECoG) neural recordings for speech decoding to improve speech prostheses.

Russian scientists have proposed a new algorithm for automatic decoding and interpreting the decoder weights, which can be used both in brain-computer interfaces and in fundamental research. The ...

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 ...

The idea of a mind-reading machine might freak a lot of people out, but a new device that can transform brain activity into speech could be the first step towards a lifeline for patients who have lost ...

A new study published in this month’s Journal of Neural Engineering demonstrates how a brain-computer interface (BCI) uses artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning to translate brain activity to ...

Information is encoded in the brain by populations or clusters of cells, rather than by single cells. This encoding strategy is known as population coding. Here we review the standard use of ...
