A nationwide study of more than 500 Australian primary school students in Year 2 has revealed how beginner writers' attitude and motivation toward writing is related to the quality of their writing ...

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, ...

A nation-wide study of more than 500 Australian primary school students in Year 2 has revealed how beginner writers’ attitude and motivation towards writing is related to the quality of their writing ...

Scientists have deciphered the brain signals associated with handwriting. This is an Inside Science story. A man paralyzed below the neck can imagine writing by hand and, with the help of artificial ...

Would you believe that a paralyzed man can write again? Through spectacular neuroscience, the new text-to-thought method made it possible for this man to text 90 characters every minute. This is the ...

In the computer age, it might seem as though proper penmanship is becoming less important with each passing day. Yet sloppy handwriting can hurt students' academic performance, from their class grades ...

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 ...

Arabic script is a writing system that is fundamentally like handwriting, in ways that the normal Latin script is not. For instance, many of the letters have to join to the left or right or both, ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), also known as brain machine interface (BMIs), convert brain activity into outputs that enables lost or impaired functions such as movement or speech. BCIs have been ...
