As time goes by, it seems like there is less and less of a need to write things down by hand. Letters are no longer necessary when you can easily text or email someone. Things you need to remember can ...

As part of the BrainGate clinical trial, researchers are using tiny electrode arrays to record signals from the motor cortex of the brain. Those signals can then be used to control robotic prostheses, ...

Electrodes in a paralyzed man’s brain turned his imagined handwriting into words typed on a screen. The translation from brain to text may ultimately point to ways to help people with disabilities ...

When someone is paralyzed from the neck down, it goes without saying that they can no longer write words out by hand. They can still think about doing so, though, and those thoughts could allow them ...

Two microelectrode arrays in the “hand area” of the brain measure neural activity. A recurrent neural network (RNN) then converts the signals into probabilities for each character. These probabilities ...

The written word has always been a core instrument for humans to share knowledge and express their ideas, emotions, and thoughts. From cave paintings and hieroglyphics to pens, typewriters, and ...
