Neuroscientists from Cambridge University are testing an AI-based system that can diagnose dementia in just one day and predict whether dementia patients will require immediate treatment or not. The system developed by Prof. Zoe Kourtzi compares brain scans of patients worried that they might have dementia with those of thousands...
Synchron, a company that develops implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), has received permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct clinical trials with human patients putting the company ahead of competitors like Elon Musk’s Neuralink. The company plans to start its early feasibility study of its...
California-based neuroscience startup Kernel is getting ready to ship its $50,000 mind-reading helmet to dozens of customers across the US. Founded by online payments veteran Bryan Johnson, Kernel’s new brain-computer interface (BCI) can analyze blood flow and neurons being fired across an individual’s brain, effectively understanding what’...
Researchers at Stanford University have developed an AI-based interface that can convert brain signals related to writing into letters on a screen. This new technology could be very beneficial for people with communication disabilities. The interface was tested with a 65-year-old paralyzed man, who was able to write text at...
