In the last two decades, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have made remarkable strides translating neural signals into motor action programing. From robotic arms to mind-controlled quadcopters and speech processors controlled by thought, these innovations offer new and rousing possibilities for people living with paralysis, amputation, locked-in syndrome, and neurodegenerative disease. But for much of this journey,… Continue reading Beyond Movement: Embodied bionics for Brain Disease and Treatment

Everyday in hospitals around the world, patients are receiving life changing treatments for depression using non-invasive brain stimulation tools. But how did we get here? Many years ago, a man put an electric eel on his head and noticed the brain changing effects. Fourty years ago, the first magnetic brain stimulation devices were being used. And… Continue reading Emerging tools for Brain Health
