An international team of researchers, including a core group of IBM computer scientists, has successfully tested a machine learning algorithm that can accurately predict whether a person will develop ...

Brain implants that translate attempted speech into words are helping people with severe paralysis communicate more quickly, ...

Researchers at DZNE and the University Hospital Bonn, together with the Berlin-based company PeakProfiling GmbH, have developed a computer-assisted method that recognizes the severity of speech ...

More and more, we can get computers to do things for us by talking to them. A computer can call your mother when you tell it to, find you a pizza place when you ask for one, or write out an email that ...

Rose covers disability and mental health, and she helps write STAT’s daily Morning Rounds newsletter. Confidential tips can be sent to Rose on Signal at rosebroderick.11. Inner speech — the internal ...

It took guts for the New York Times to publish an op-ed by Tim Wu, the Columbia law professor who coined the phrase “network neutrality,” arguing that the First Amendment doesn’t protect the contents ...

We go back in the NPR archives to find a 30-year-old progress report on the development of computer speech from NPR correspondent Ira Flatow. Things have come along quite a bit since then. Well, ...

The brain surgeon began as he always does, making an incision in the scalp and gently spreading it apart to expose the skull. He then drilled a 3-inch circular opening through the bone, down to the ...

University of California, Davis researchers have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables computer cursor control and clicking, using neural signals from the speech motor cortex. One ...

Many people with Lou Gehrig's disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), first start to lose the ability to move their arms and legs. That's not Pat Bennett. She can move just fine. She ...

Since then, scientists have designed and developed brain-computer interface devices that have enabled people with quadriplegia to control a computer cursor, a robotic arm, and even move their own limb ...
