FRESH OUT. “Machine translates brainwaves into sentences. Scientists have taken a step forward in their ability to decode what a person is saying just by looking at their brainwaves when they speak. They trained algorithms to transfer the brain patterns into sentences in real-time and with word error rates as low as 3%. Previously, these so-called "brain-machine interfaces" have had limited success in decoding neural activity.” https://lnkd.in/dd6-tBm View in LinkedIn

HUMAN-ROBOT INTERFACE. "Honda has taken some very significant steps into what could be an absolute revolution in human-computer interface...has demonstrated a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) that enables a user to control an ASIMO robot using nothing more than thought. Wearing a headset containing both electroencephalography (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors, the user simply imagines moving either his right hand, left hand, tongue or feet - and ASIMO makes a corresponding movement." https://lnkd.in/deY-9dW View in LinkedIn

AVATAR. "Researchers in Japan are using a brain-machine interface to control the actions of a humanoid robot. The goal is to allow people "to feel embodied in the body of a humanoid robot." By focusing his attention, he can induce actions, which are translated from his brain activity into robotic motion." https://lnkd.in/dhxBk2N View in LinkedIn

QUADRIPLEGIC BRAIN IMPLANT. "In 2012 quadriplegic Jan Scheuermann had two electrode arrays implanted in her brain’s left motor cortex. Within a week, she could use the implant to move a prosthetic arm in all three dimensions, and move its wrist in an additional four. That was good enough for her to use it to feed herself with the arm, and good enough to make her a national celebrity." https://lnkd.in/dsHqDJA View in LinkedIn

RESTORE AND AUGMENT. "Future brain-machine interfaces will transform medicine, technology and society. The coarse neural stimulators currently used to treat illnesses ranging from deafness to Parkinson’s disease will be replaced by a new generation of devices that both sense and stimulate the human nervous system, interacting with the brain using its native code." https://lnkd.in/du8b2eF View in LinkedIn

IMPLANTS. "Eventually neural implants will make the transition from being used exclusively for severe problems such as paralysis, blindness or amnesia. They will be adopted by people with less traumatic disabilities. When the technology has advanced enough, implants will graduate from being strictly repair-oriented to enhancing the performance of healthy or "normal" people. They will be used to improve memory, mental focus (Ritalin without the side effects), perception and mood (bye, bye Prozac)." http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

ENHANCEMENTS. "What would you give for a retinal chip that let you see in the dark or for a next-generation cochlear implant that let you hear any conversation in a noisy restaurant, no matter how loud? Or for a memory chip, wired directly into your brain's hippocampus, that gave you perfect recall of everything you read?" http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn
