Scientists develop a less invasive brain-computer interface

October 9th, 2023

Serving multiple useful purposes, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) usually incorporate scalp-applied or even brain-implanted electrodes. A new, less-invasive BCI, however, can simply be placed in the patient's ear canal.

New memory device developed for future wearables

September 9th, 2016

Last spring, the artificial intelligence (AI) program AlphaGo beat Korean Go champion LEE Se-Dol at the Asian board game. “The game was quite tight, but AlphaGo used 1200 CPUs and 56,000 watts per hour, while Lee used only 20 watts. If a hardware that mimics the human brain structure is developed, we can operate artificial […]
