Researchers demonstrate a real-time brain-controlled hearing device that selectively enhances voices based on a listener's neural activity.

In a crowded room, the problem is rarely volume. It is selection. Most hearing aids can make speech louder and soften certain background sounds, but they still struggle with the part human brains ...

For the first time, an individual has been seen publicly controlling an iPad entirely through thought, thanks to Apple's new brain-computer interface (BCI) protocol and Synchron's implantable ...

Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

Elon Musk co-founded Neuralink in 2016 to develop brain-machine interfaces. The first product — the N1 implant — focuses on allowing patients with paralysis to control computer cursors with their mind ...

Apple has long been at the forefront of prioritizing accessibility across its various devices. And the latest initiative on that front is especially cutting edge. As was first detailed this spring, ...

Russia is no longer content with drones that buzz like insects or glide like aircraft. Its latest experiment reaches inside the brains of living birds, wiring pigeons with neural implants so human ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

You’ve probably heard of dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol. Maybe you know dopamine has something to do with feeling good, oxytocin is linked to bonding, and cortisol is that stress chemical you’d ...

Imagine a crowded room. It's a chaos of sound, teeming with indistinct voices. Scientists call this the cocktail party problem. To overcome it, most people are able to focus on a single speaker's ...

A real-time system decoded who was listening and boosted the speaker’s voice, offering proof of concept for smarter hearing technologies that respond to attention rather than just sound. Study: ...
