Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Composing thoughts: mental handwriting produces brain activity that can be turne... 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). Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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. Image Research news | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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.

Here’s how our remarkably nimble brains rewire themselves. Image Research news | Apr 16 2021 Stanford Scope Pot commercialization tied to self-harm by younger men, study suggests Suicide attempts and other self-harm may increase among men under the age of 40 in states that allow recreational use of marijuana, particuarly those with for-profit dispensaries, Stanford study suggests. Image Press coverage | Apr 13 2021 The New York Times Zoom burnout is real, and It’s worse for women In a new study, women reported higher levels of fatigue associated with video calls than men. The solution, though, isn’t as simple as not having video calls. Image Press coverage | Apr 2 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford study shows why we get 'Zoom fatigue' and what to do about it As video conferencing has become a part of our daily lives, so has “Zoom fatigue.” Why do we feel drained after a day in front of our screens?
