Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Language and speech are how we express our inner thoughts. But neuroscientists just bypassed the need for audible speech, at least in the lab. Instead, they directly tapped into the biological machine ...

This video still shows a view of one person's cerebral cortex. Pink areas have above-average activity; blue areas have below-average activity. (Jerry Tang and Alexander Huth) Scientists have found a ...

A protein capable of recording incoming chemical signals of brain cells was engineered by scientists, which could decode the ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have created a “semantic brain decoder” to guess someone’s thoughts based on brain activity. AUSTIN, Texas — Scientists at the University of Texas at ...

Sharing our thoughts with others has always required some form of active translation, whether through audible speech, the written word, or visual arts. But what if we could skip that step entirely by ...

A new artificial intelligence system called a semantic decoder can translate a person’s brain activity — while listening to a story or silently imagining telling a story — into a continuous stream of ...

Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...

A brain wave decoder is figuring out how people think about moving The decoder interprets brain waves generated by people thinking of movement Through the decoder, those thoughts prompted lower leg ...

Brain activity like this, measured in an fMRI machine, can be used to train a brain decoder to decipher what a person is thinking about. In this latest study, UT Austin researchers have developed a ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to pin down what fatigue really looks like inside the brain, but until now they have ...
