Brain-Machine Interface Device Predicts Internal Speech
New Caltech research is showing how devices implanted into people’s brains, called brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), could one day help patients who have lost their ability to speak. In a new study presented at the 2022 Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego, researchers demonstrated that they could use a BMI to accurately predict which words […]

Neuroscientists and game designers play well together: Collaboration creates better data, better games and real impact
Jessica Hammer thinks the most important technology for making games is the brain. The Thomas and Lydia Moran Associate Professor of Learning Science, jointly appointed in the HCI Institute and the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University, Hammer says “My games are designed to put the player into an altered state, so their brain […]

Using sound to model the world
Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab are exploring the use of spatial acoustic information to help machines better envision their environments. They developed a machine-learning model that can capture how any sound in a room will propagate through the space, enabling the model to simulate what a listener would hear at different […]
