Along with various other companies in the brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, Elon Musk's Neuralink and Bill Gates-backed Synchron have been pioneering the development of brain chips. These ...

Inspired by the remarkable strength and efficiency of dung beetles, researchers have developed robots that mimic the beetle’s unique object-rolling mechanics. A new study explains how dung beetles ...

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...

Optogenetics, in which neurons are engineered to be activated or inhibited by light, provides valuable insights into underlying mechanisms of brain function and holds promise for the treatment of ...

Elon Musk’s new brain-machine interface startup, Neuralink, is just one of several recent announcements that have sparked discussion about the potential of letting computers read our brains. Whether ...

New artwork created by artificial intelligence does weird things to the primate brain. When shown to macaques, AI-generated images purposefully caused nerve cells in the monkeys’ brains to fire more ...

Some of the best tech we see at CES feels pulled straight from sci-fi. Yesterday at CES 2025, I tested out Neural Lab's AirTouch technology, which lets you interact with a display using hand gestures ...
