ABILITY Neurotech receives MREC approval for ALS BCI clinical trial

The clearance enables ABILITY Neurotech to move beyond intra-operative testing to long-term clinical investigation involving human participants.

Brain-computer interface restores real-time speech in ALS patient

A team at UC Davis has made a major leap in neurotechnology, enabling a man with ALS to speak again through a brain-computer interface that converts thoughts into speech in real time. Unlike prior systems that translated neural signals into text, this one synthesizes actual voice with tone, pacing, and even melody, creating a near-conversational experience. The device interprets neural signals via implants and advanced AI, making it possible for users to speak new words, ask questions, and express emotions vocally. Though still early-stage, this breakthrough offers real hope for those silenced by neurological conditions.

Artificial intelligence gives a clearer picture of functional MRI brain data

For three decades, functional neuroimaging (fMRI) has been shaping the understanding of the human brain. A major obstacle for fMRI research is that information about brain responses is mixed with ...

Show HN: Browser-based EEG neurofeedback detecting golden ratio brain coherence

I've been meditating with consumer EEG headbands for years and started writing code to analyze my own data. I found something I wasn't expecting.Earth's Schumann Resonance oscillates at ~7.8 Hz with harmonics at roughly 14, 20, 26, and 32 Hz. These overlap with canonical EEG frequency bands. That overlap was noted before but generally treated as coincidence.In 2010, Pletzer, Kerschbaum, and Klimesch at Universität Salzburg proposed that EEG bands follow golden ratio organization,
