Innovative technology linked with the brain is already helping restore the quality of life for many disabled individuals, such as one paralyzed patient who piloted a virtual drone by simply thinking.

A groundbreaking brain implant has allowed a paralyzed man to control a virtual drone and fly it through an obstacle course. The feat, as detailed in a study published in the journal Nature ...

Researchers have developed a high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables individuals with paralysis, like patient T5, to control virtual environments with unprecedented ability.

Neurosurgeons from Stanford and Brown University implanted microelectrodes in the brain of a paralyzed research participant, connecting him to a computer to enable electrical signal transmission.

When patient T5 suffered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed, his dream of flying a drone seemed forever out of reach. Now, thanks to a brain implant, he’s experienced the thrill in a ...

Brain-computer interfaces may allow paralyzed people to perform basic actions such as eating and typing, but … well, there's more to life than eating and typing. That's where an unprecedented ...

A groundbreaking brain implant has given a 69-year-old paralyzed man the ability to steer a virtual drone solely with his thoughts—a new achievement in assistive technology. The cutting-edge ...

By targeting an unexpected region of the brain, this breakthrough not only challenges what we know about motor recovery but also rekindles hope for millions living with paralysis. DBS is a ...

In an advancement in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, scientists enabled a 69-year-old man with paralysis to fly a virtual drone through a complex obstacle course using only his thoughts.
