Researchers have conducted groundbreaking research on memristor-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). This research presents an innovative approach for implementing energy-efficient adaptive ...

The room we are in is locked. It is windowless and lit from above by a fluorescent bulb. In the hallway outside—two stories beneath the city of London—attendants in dark suits patrol silently, giving ...

After poring over recordings from sperm whales in the Caribbean, UC Berkeley linguist GasperBegus had an unlikely breakthrough. According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project CETI ...

For centuries, humans have drawn a line between themselves and other species, initially claiming that other animals couldn’t feel pain. Science proved they could. Then the argument shifted: Animals ...

After working for some time on decoding mysterious encrypted letters, the codebreakers realize that the ciphered messages might be written by Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scots herself, during a critical ...

History has seen many waves of Egyptomania but, until the 19th century, scholars remained baffled by the many repeated symbols and motifs wrapped around every new find, from majestic monuments to ...

Most experimental brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that have been used for synthesizing human speech have been implanted in the areas of the brain that translate the intention to speak into the muscle ...

Scientists have pinpointed brain activity related to inner speech-the silent monologue in people's heads-and successfully decoded it on command with up to 74% accuracy. Publishing August 14 in the ...

In a recent study, scientists successfully decoded not only the words people tried to say but the words they merely imagined saying. By Carl Zimmer Carl Zimmer writes the “Origins” column for The New ...
