Brain-Computer Interface Smashes Previous Record for Typing Speed
Imagining writing-by-hand is faster than imagining moving a cursor in new BCI system.
Stanford announces 2021 Cuthbertson, Dinkelspiel and Gores awards
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute members Guosong Hong and Justin Du Bois have been awarded the Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching
Toolmakers aim to untangle fundamental challenges in neuroscience
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute advances its ambitious “Big Ideas” Initiatives to the next level
Three seniors awarded SAA’s Outstanding Achievement Award
Stanford has awarded the Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) Outstanding Achievement Award to three graduating seniors, including MARÍA VALENTINA SUÁREZ-NIETO, one of Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute's inaugural NeURO fellows and part of the SUNS leadership t
Stanford bioengineers develop algorithm to compare cells across species
Researchers created an algorithm to identify similar cell types from species – including fish, mice, flatworms and sponges – that have diverged for hundreds of millions of years, which could help fill in gaps in our understanding of evolution.
Autism mutation may cause big brain via ‘don’t eat me’ signals
An autism-linked mutation could make the brain grow unusually big by prompting cells to express a “don’t eat me” signal, according to a new study.
How novel is Neuralink?
Paul Nuyujukian discusses Neuralink's recent "MindPong" video" and the latest in BCI technology with Ira Flatow on Science Friday
Paralyzed man uses his mind to form real-time sentences
A man paralyzed from the neck down for almost a decade has used his mind to compose whole sentences in real-time, according to a new study.
Man who is paralyzed communicates by imagining handwriting
A man who is paralyzed was able to type with 95% accuracy by imagining that he was handwriting letters on a sheet of paper, a team reported in the journal Nature.
New brain implant turns visualized letters into text
Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, can restore movement in people with paralysis and may help treat neurological and psychiatric diseases.
David Eagleman interview: How our brains could create whole new senses
Neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to remodel itself, enables us to interpret all kinds of sensations. We can use that to create new ways to perceive the world, says neuroscientist David Eagleman
Paralysed man uses ‘mindwriting’ brain computer to compose sentences
A man who was paralysed from the neck down in an accident more than a decade ago has written sentences using a computer system that turns imagined handwriting into words.
Brain implants turn imagined handwriting into text on a screen
Electrodes in a paralyzed man’s brain turned his imagined handwriting into words typed on a screen. The translation from brain to text may ultimately point to ways to help people with disabilities like paralysis communicate using just their thoughts.
Composing thoughts: mental handwriting produces brain activity that can be turned into text
Scientists have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) designed to restore the ability to communicate in people with spinal cord injuries and neurological disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Software turns ‘mental handwriting’ into on-screen words, sentences
Artificial intelligence, interpreting data from a device placed at the brain’s surface, enables people who are paralyzed or have severely impaired limb movement to communicate by text.
Why multitasking does more harm than good
Multitasking might seem like a clever way to get a grip on an out-of-control to-do list, but research shows that’s not such a great plan.
Wu Tsai Neuro Faculty Elected to National Academy of Science, American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute members recently received top honors from two of America’s leading scientific academies. Four faculty affiliates of the Institute were elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and three were elected to the Natio
Study examines experience-dependent contextual codes in the hippocampus
The hippocampus is a brain structure within the temporal lobe known to play a key role in memory and learning.
Six Stanford faculty elected to National Academy of Sciences
Six Stanford University researchers are among the 120 newly elected members of the National Academy of Sciences. Scientists are elected to the NAS by their peers.
