As part of the BrainGate clinical trial, researchers are using tiny electrode arrays to record signals from the motor cortex of the brain. Those signals can then be used to control robotic prostheses, ...

Scientists are exploring a number of ways for people with disabilities to communicate with their thoughts. The newest and fastest turns back to a vintage means for expressing oneself: handwriting. For ...

Researchers combine neural implants with AI to develop a "mindwriting" system that converts imagined writing to text on a screen. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his family ...

I find it funny that only one of the styles (#4) is what I would consider "handwriting". I think you'd call it "cursive"? The others are a form of "typewriting" that some of my mates developed in ...

Would you believe that a paralyzed man can write again? Through spectacular neuroscience, the new text-to-thought method made it possible for this man to text 90 characters every minute. This is the ...

In the computer age, it might seem as though proper penmanship is becoming less important with each passing day. Yet sloppy handwriting can hurt students' academic performance, from their class grades ...

Two microelectrode arrays in the “hand area” of the brain measure neural activity. A recurrent neural network (RNN) then converts the signals into probabilities for each character. These probabilities ...
