A man afflicted with ALS has become the first person in the world to control an Amazon Alexa digital assistant through his thoughts — thanks to a brain implant created by a New York-based ...

In the new research, the UCSF neuroscientists used their technology to investigate how the learning process is controlled by the brain. A prevailing theory suggests that new learning is controlled by ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons ...

Two monkeys have managed to use brain power to control a robotic arm to feed themselves. The feat marks the first time a brain-controlled prosthetic limb has been wielded to perform a practical task.

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one ...

Since the 1930s, the so-called homunculus map has shown how different parts of the brain's motor cortex may control movement to different parts of the body. But it may be missing an important ...

The how connects to concrete actions, execution, and motor control. When one is activated, the other goes on standby. Related: CEOs: You’re incredibly powerful–use that power for good ...

In a study published Nov. 21 in PLOS ONE, BrainGate revealed that a brain-computer interface (BCI) can enable people with paralysis to operate these devices merely by thinking about making clicks ...

Researchers have developed a novel training protocol for brain-computer interfaces in a study with rhesus monkeys. The method enables precise control of prosthetic hands using signals from the ...

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : Parkinson’s disease is categorised as a diffuse degenerative brain disorder caused by dysfunction of areas responsible for motor control. Abnormal functioning of such areas ...
