Advances in neurotechnology have created excitement among researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs and patients. However, recent examples of medical device problems, such as the 2017 recall of implantable spinal fusion stimulators, are reminders that safety issues can harm patients, weaken public trust, and damage company reputations. …

Presently, technology awareness and literacy are at an all-time high. People beyond academia and niche developments are more familiar with ‘AI’, immersive computing, and wearable technology than ever before. However, with that in mind… why is it that a key technology that seemingly sits in the middle of those three…

Imagine walking into a grocery store where the aisles have no signs and all the items in the store are placed randomly. You might find an orange, a bottle of wine, and a container of yogurt all sitting on the same shelf. …

The best way to benchmark your machine learning for EEG decoding — Machine Learning for BCI Building good models for translating brain signals is a HARD TASK! Models are essentially abstractions from reality, directly linked to scientific hypotheses. In the context of brain signals, the models are designed to extract features from temporal signals to establish a connection between the brain and machines. …

From 2019, the deadly viral strain SARS-CoV-2 shattered many lives. Covid cost the lives of many individuals, including my own close family member. This made me realize how important it is to reflect back on the wide-ranging repercussions associated with Covid. One such consequence is the sense of mental fogginess…

In a recent study, researchers implanted a multielectrode array in the brain of a stroke patient with paralysis and inability to speak. They recorded cerebral cortical activity while the individual attempted to speak. Using computational models, they were able to decode full sentences in real time as the participant attempted…

As an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Humans (IoH; also known as Internet of Human Things or Internet of Bodies) refers to a network of devices which are connected to the human body, collecting data about it and potentially altering the body’s functions. The rapid…

Written by Jack-Michael Wesierski and Dr. Justin Jarovi We’ve already invented mind reading technology, now it’s time to apply what we’ve learned to commercialize it. Advancements in artificial intelligence have made pattern prediction more efficient and accurate than ever. Each day Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), like Muse or Neurable, improve in…

The brain may be the star of the show when it comes to neuromodulation, but neurons throughout the body do much of the heavy lifting to keep us moving, breathing, and feeling good. In particular, the stomach and intestines are surrounded by over 500 million neurons known as the enteric…
