After 150 years of mystery, neuroscience has finally cracked the code on how language works in the brain—and the answer is surprisingly elegant.

Scientists have developed a device that can translate thoughts about speech into spoken words in real time. Although it’s still experimental, they hope the brain-computer interface could someday help ...

An Arizona man has become the third person in the world to receive Neuralink's brain implant – letting him 'speak' again in his own voice. Brad Smith has ALS, a progressive disease that makes him ...

As they age, some people find it harder to understand speech in noisy environments. Now, UB researchers have identified the area in the brain, called the insula, that shows significant changes in ...

After a brain stem stroke left him almost entirely paralyzed in the 1990s, French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote a book about his experiences—letter by letter, blinking his left eye in response ...

For the first time, scientists have created a brain implant that can "hear" and vocalize words a person is only imagining in their head. The device, developed at Stanford University in California, ...
