Scientists at Cornell University created a neural implant smaller than a grain of salt that can wirelessly read brain activity for over a year. The device uses light instead of wires, opening doors to safer brain monitoring for medical treatments.
Walter Grkovic just became the first Australian to receive a "smart" brain implant that automatically adjusts to fight Parkinson's symptoms in real time. The new adaptive deep brain stimulation technology has already helped 150,000 Australians living with the debilitating disease.
A Belgian startup just earned FDA breakthrough status for a brain implant that bypasses damaged eyes entirely to restore functional vision. Clinical trials in blind volunteers could begin as soon as summer 2027.
Two paralyzed people are typing with their thoughts alone, using brain implants that translate imagined finger movements into keystrokes at speeds rivaling smartphone users. After learning just 30 sentences, they're chatting, joking, and reclaiming independence through a familiar QWERTY keyboard.
A wireless brain implant that improved memory by 19% in clinical trials just received breakthrough status from the FDA, bringing hope to 4.3 million Americans living with brain injury. The device listens to brain signals and stimulates at precisely the right moment to help form new memories.
A baseball cap that activates a tiny brain implant just won FDA approval for its first human trial. For people with treatment-resistant depression, this could transform morning routines into moments of healing.
A tiny implant placed during brain surgery just proved it can slash tumor regrowth by 93% and lower death risk by 41%, earning $100 million to bring the breakthrough to more patients. After years of hope, brain cancer patients finally have a weapon that fights back the moment surgeons close the incision.
A smart brain implant that learns from your own neural patterns just became the first device to receive breakthrough status for treating memory loss after traumatic brain injury. More than 4 million Americans living with TBI-related disability may finally have hope for a treatment.
A tiny brain implant that treats depression from home just won FDA approval for human trials. The device could help millions who haven't found relief from traditional medications.
A new chest implant is helping stroke survivors recover faster by "fertilizing" the brain during therapy sessions. Mark Wilson, the first Nebraska patient to receive it, is working toward his dream of golfing again.
Two people with paralysis can now type on a virtual keyboard using only their thoughts, thanks to a groundbreaking brain implant. One patient reached 80% of an able-bodied person's typing speed.
China just became the first country to approve a brain implant for commercial use, opening the door for people with spinal cord injuries to regain movement. While similar devices have existed in research labs for decades, this marks a breakthrough in making the technology accessible beyond clinical trials.

A woman with ALS typed 22 words per minute using only her thoughts, thanks to a brain implant that reads finger movement signals. She matched the texting speed of able-bodied people her age.
A man with ALS uses a brain implant at home to communicate, work, and send messages at 56 words per minute. After nearly two years of daily use, the technology is transforming from research tool to life-changing medical device.
A man with ALS is using a brain implant at home to communicate at 56 words per minute, keeping his job and staying connected to loved ones. It's the longest-running test of speech technology for paralysis patients outside a lab.
Two people with paralysis can now type using only their thoughts at speeds nearly matching smartphone texting, thanks to a breakthrough brain implant. The technology brings life-changing communication within reach for people who've lost the ability to speak or move.
Scientists have created tiny, printed artificial neurons that can communicate with living mouse brain cells, opening doors to smarter brain implants and energy-efficient AI. The breakthrough could help people control prosthetic limbs with their thoughts and may one day restore function lost to diseases like Alzheimer's.
Researchers in Israel used deep-brain stimulation to dramatically reduce hallucinations in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, opening a new frontier for the 30% who don't respond to medication. One patient said the voices that controlled his life finally became quiet.
A brain-computer interface device just won approval in China to help people with spinal cord injuries use their hands again. Clinical trials showed all 36 participants regained the ability to grasp objects after years of paralysis.
A small device surgically placed in the chest helped people who had lived with severe depression for nearly 30 years find lasting relief. After trying an average of 13 treatments without success, 69% of patients improved within a year, and most kept getting better.
