An #IEEE technical community facilitating cross-disciplinary collaboration to advance research, standardization & development of #neuroscience technologies.
Your thoughts are yours. But as #BCI technology gets better at decoding neural signals, where do we draw the line around #MentalPrivacy? A new paper explores what #neurotech can reveal today, where it may be headed, and why safeguards need to keep pace: bit.ly/4yi4F4o
What does the #brain see when it watches a hand move? @BrownUniversity researchers found motor-cortex activity changed with how human-like the observed action appeared, offering insights into “mirror neurons” and potentially future #BCI design. Learn more: bit.ly/4iHCveb
We’ve got the badge. We’ve got the location. We’re just missing you. Join researchers, #engineers, and innovators at the 2026 @IEEEBrain Discovery and #Neurotechnology Workshop, 11–13 November, in Washington, DC. Claim your spot (and your badge) at: bit.ly/IEEEBrain2026Workshop…#brain
As #neurotech opens new possibilities, it brings new responsibilities. Our friends at @dana_fdn sit down with expert Walter Koroshetz to explore #BCI, emerging #brain tech, and why society should help shape how they're used rather than just reacting later: bit.ly/3VrK7I1
A #BCI#algorithm may do more than assist movement; it may influence how the #brain learns. Researchers found adaptive decoders concentrated task-related information in fewer neurons. What might it mean for future #neurotech? Learn more at @NatureComms: go.nature.com/4yKw4vF
Behind technologies that connect, communicate, and work together are #standards that help make it possible. Our final @IEEEBrain Sponsoring Society spotlight recognizes @IEEESA, bringing global expertise together to build consensus and advance technology: standards.ieee.org/
Communication is more than words. @NewsMedical reports a new #BCI enabled people with #paralysis to simultaneously express speech and upper-body gestures with a virtual avatar, a first that brings #brain-computer communication closer to natural expression: bit.ly/4xrtXvK
For some disabled #students, #BCIs could open new paths to independence: writing, navigating technology, or communicating without waiting for a prompt. But the technology must be designed with students in mind. Learn more at @EdTech_HigherEd: bit.ly/4hkeZTg#neurotech
#Privacy was top-ranked in our latest #neuroethics poll. #NeuralDataPrivacy led at 40%, followed by #MentalPrivacy at 25%. Together, privacy-related concerns captured nearly two-thirds of all votes. Let us know what you think these priorities say about the future of #neurotech.
Here’s a bright idea: #brain signals, sent with light. 💡 @IEEESpectrum reports an experimental #BCI uses infrared light to stream neural data through the skin, without an implanted battery. Longer-term human trials will soon put it to the test: bit.ly/3VlgiZu#neurotech
What if a #BCI could learn alongside its user? Researchers paired human motor learning with adaptive #AI in a non-invasive #brain-computer interface, creating a shared learning loop that cut training time and improved performance. Details at @psychtoday: bit.ly/3UCLkfh
#BCIs can translate neural activity into movement, speech, and control but making them reliable for daily life is a challenge. #BioengineerOrg explores why electrodes, #wireless systems, and adaptive #AI may need to be designed as one integrated system: bit.ly/4cj26pL
