Mind reading usually conjures images of scam artists with crystal balls, but a group of San Francisco neuroscientists and engineers is developing a device that can do it sans crystal ball. Their ...

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI), also known as a brain-machine interface (BMI), is a technology that enables direct communication between the human brain and external devices. BCIs work by detecting ...

DARPA is the US military department responsible for developing cutting edge technologies for use on the front line. Boasting an annual budget of billions and with some of the world’s smartest minds on ...

For most of human history, the field of engineering has been seen as distinct from biological and neural science. Living tissue has a quality of its own, and cannot easily interact with an ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new device for connecting the brain directly to silicon-based technologies. While brain-machine interface devices already exist – and are used for ...

A landmark new study by US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory has successfully distinguished brain signals. Armed with an algorithm and complex mathematics, the ...

Facebook wants to build a social network that works with telepathy. That doesn't exist, but brain-computer interfaces are an interesting field of research that could be hugely useful if proved safe ...

Researchers in Japan have demonstrated low-invasive neural recording technology for the brain tissue of diabetic mice, an advance with positive implications for future brain-machine interfaces. The ...

An important milestone for brain-computer interfaces has been achieved. A new peer-reviewed neuroscience study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) demonstrates a ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
