2005: Brain chip reads man's thoughts
Early brain-machine interface: "BrainGate...nearly 100 hair-thin electrodes implanted a millimetre deep into part of the motor cortex of his brain that controls movement." Converted to mouse cursor movements, enabling a paralyzed patient to do things like control his TV.

Now that BMIs (Brain Machine Interfaces) have been around for a while, researchers are using 2 or 3 year old BMIs that are degrading to collect more and more BMI data.

This study shows that new math can improve the performance of existing older hardware by effectively extending the life of older BMI hardware by almost 100%.

A new brain-computer interface translates brain signals into speech with up to 97 percent accuracy. Researchers implanted sensors in the brain of a man with severely impaired speech due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The man was able to communicate his intended speech within minutes of activating the system. #science #technology #medicaltechnology #ALS #brainmachineinterface sciencedaily.com/releases/2024

#Neuroscience, #Neurotechnology, and #BrainMachineInterface conference opportunity: August 10-11 2024, the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at West Virginia University (my employer) is hosting BMI Summit 2024, co-sponsored by the NSF, Precision Neuroscience, and others. This is a great opportunity for researchers interested in therapeutic BMI to share work and make connections in both academia and industry, and student registration is only $50! Researchers, take a look and see if this is a good fit for your interests.

Musk’s bid to start Neuralink human trials denied by FDA in 2022

The Food and Drug Administration denied a human-trials application from Elon Musk's brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, in early 2022, citing dozens of concerns about the company's device that employees are still working to address

Brain Interface Uses Tiny Needles

We often look at news out of the research community and think, "we could build that." But the latest brain-machine interface from an international team including the Georgia Institute of Technology actually scares us. It uses an array of tiny needles that penetrate the skin but remain too small for your nerves to detect. Right. We assume they need to be sterile but either way, we don't really want to build a pin grid array to attach to your brain.

It seems the soft device is comfortable and since it is very lightweight it doesn't suffer from noise if the user blinks or otherwise moves. Looking at the picture of the electrodes, they look awfully pointy, but we assume that's magnified quite a few times, since the post mentions they are not visible to the naked eye.

By using machine learning, people were able to control virtual reality tasks with high accuracy -- about 93%. Controlling things via brainwaves is nothing new, but the challenge has always been getting an easy and robust way to read the brainwaves to begin with. Obviously, this kind of technology could really help adaptive technology where using traditional control methods isn't feasible.

We've seen brain control used to drive a car. We've even seen an Arduino get in on the act.

Discussing Neuralink before it comes to a brain near you! Neuralink recently unveiled its V0.9 prototype of its brain-machine interface. Wild claims are circulating like can Neuralink read your thoughts, store your memories, or allow you to control a robot body. Why did Elon Musk invest $100 million of his own money to help fund Neuralink? Many people I know had no idea what Neuralink is or where it's at.
