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 ...

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, ...

Researchers are learning that handwriting engages the brain in ways typing can't match, raising questions about the costs of ditching this age-old... If you're like many digitally savvy Americans, it ...

When someone is paralyzed from the neck down, it goes without saying that they can no longer write words out by hand. They can still think about doing so, though, and those thoughts could allow them ...

Researchers have, for the first time, decoded the neural signals associated with writing letters, then displayed typed versions of these letters in real time. They hope their invention could one day ...

Typing may be faster than writing by hand, but it’s less stimulating for the brain, according to research published Friday in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. After recording the brain activity of ...

“Handwriting was initially the first means of preserving information that was previously only passed down orally,” explains Donica. Before the invention of the printing press, copying information or ...
