Image Press coverage | May 17 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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. Image Press coverage | May 14 2021 Science Friday How novel is Neuralink? Paul Nuyujukian discusses Neuralink's recent "MindPong" video" and the latest in BCI technology with Ira Flatow on Science Friday Image Press coverage | May 13 2021 CNN 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. 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. 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 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 New Scientist 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 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 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.

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).
