The New Era of Brain-Computer Interfaces: Restored Touch, Accurate Speech, Seamless Movement
16 November 2025
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM PST
Session Description
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), devices that use brain activity to direct machines to perform tasks, promise life-changing autonomy for patients. Researchers will share some of the latest advances in the field, including a BCI that allowed a paralyzed man to work full-time from his home computer. Speakers will discuss a less invasive neuroprosthetic for more controlled movement and a new technology that successfully restored touch long term to patients with spinal cord injury.
