It might soon be “game over” for the video game controller. Yale researchers have developed a new kind of brain-computer interface (BCI) that lets humans play video games directly with their brains.

Every four years at the Cybathlon, teams of researchers and technology “pilots” compete to see whose brain-computer interface holds the most promise. Owen Collumb, a Cybathlon race pilot who has been ...

An important milestone has been achieved in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. A new peer-reviewed study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering shows how a high-performance brain-computer ...

Fallout season two is kicking off with a bang… Literally, if you’re one of a few unlucky people who cross paths with Mr. House or Hank MacLean. But what is that’s making people’s heads go bang? We ...

When you hear "brain-computer interface," you probably picture surgery, wires and a chip in your head. Now picture something quieter. No implant. No incision. Just sound waves directed at the brain.

China’s brain-computer interface industry is growing fast, and the newest company to emerge from the country is aiming to access the brain without the use of invasive implants. Gestala, newly founded ...

In the first four months of 2026, three brain-computer interface companies earned FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, a regulatory milestone that grants priority review interactions for technologies ...

The number of people with electrodes in their brains is believed to have more than doubled in the last couple of years. This week, I covered the story of Casey Harrell—a man with ALS who is “the first ...

While Elon Musk’s Neuralink likes to say it’s “pioneering” brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), China’s BCI industry is already quietly moving from research to scale. A new wave of startups is racing to ...
