From the Interface

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency invests millions in brain-computer interface projects every year, effectively driving the BCI research agenda. This post catalogs the various programs…

This post reviews the significant milestones in the development of neural dust and lays out the state of the art in 2020. The neural dust device is 3 millimeters long and 1×1 millimeters in cross…

All BCI devices record. Only a few of them provide direct feedback to the brain in real-time. This post lists current closed-loop human BCI devices and their applications. X-rays from patients…

Can following the money tell us about the interface between academic research and venture-funded companies in BCI. Is there a clear boundary at all? What does the 'funding lens' reveal, about who is…

Current retinal implants deliver just enough vision to enable the blind to see bright lights, high-contrast edges, and moving objects. Considering their enormous potential, visual prosthetics have…

From neurons in dishes to behaving insects to primates, how do we trade off accessibility and iteration speed against clinical relevance? What model is best suited to which research question? Photo a…

The cochlear implant is a miracle that deserves a place in the history of brain-computer communications, as the first neural interface to restore a human sense through electrical stimulation of…
