June 5 -- Is your handwriting so distinctly different from anyone else's that an expert could tell whether you — and you alone — scrawled a note that you may not even remember writing? Could a ...

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, ...

I find it funny that only one of the styles (#4) is what I would consider "handwriting". I think you'd call it "cursive"? The others are a form of "typewriting" that some of my mates developed in ...

In a world increasingly dominated by the QWERTY keyboard, University College London (UCL) computer scientists have developed software which may spark the comeback of the handwritten word by analysing ...

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 ...

Because I am a writer, and because I am a hoarder, my apartment is littered with notebooks that contain a mixture of journal entries and school assignments. Many pages don’t have dates, but I can tell ...

A new brain-computer interface (BCI) can turn 'mental handwriting' – the act of imagining yourself writing on a piece of paper – into text on a screen in real time. The breakthrough system, developed ...
