A brain computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a mind machine interface (MMI), direct neural interface (DNI), synthetic telepathy interface (STI) or brain machine interface (BMI), is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device.

Vilayanur Ramachandran tells us what brain damage can reveal about the connection between celebral tissue and the mind, using three startling delusions as examples.

I understand how someone's brain, how someone's mind can come to the place where it makes sense in fact it would be wrong, when your brain is working like that not to try to save the world through genocide.

I'm a brain scientist, and as a brain scientist,

So in that green component of the brain stem, if you damage it, and often it happens, what you get is complete paralysis, but your conscious mind is maintained.

If those diseases where tissues are deteriorating for example Alzheimer's, where the brain, the brain cells, die and we need to restore new brain cells, new functional brain cells what if we could, in the future, use cancer? A tumor put it in the brain and cause it to differentiate into brain cells?

And after all, we are our brains. My brain is talking to your brain.

You're more complicated than your brain. You've got a brain.

The biological brain is the only brain of the robot.

Turning brain drain into brain gain The case of Pakistan

Studies have shown that chemo and radiation therapies may damage brain white matter and disrupt brain activity.

Charles Bonnet said, 250 years ago he wondered how, thinking these hallucinations, how, as he put it, the theater of the mind could be generated by the machinery of the brain.

Feminism and the Male Brain

You have graphs and charts that tell you how your brain was doing not just how much rope you used or what your high score is, but what was going on inside of your mind.

The old brain is still there. You still have that alligator brain.

The new brain is actually kind of easier than the old brain.

I'm a brain scientist, and as a brain scientist, I'm actually interested in how the brain learns, and I'm especially interested in a possibility of making our brains smarter, better and faster.

My career path led me to become a computational neuroscientist, so in my day job, I create computer models of the brain to try to understand how the brain makes predictions, how the brain makes decisions, how the brain learns and so on.

What is going on? And in that moment, my brain chatter my left hemisphere brain chatter went totally silent.

Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the what level.

So faking your brain going wrong is evidence that your brain has gone wrong.

T cells gain entry into the brain via disruptions in the blood brain barrier.

The majority of our functional brain is distributed over the outer surface layer of the brain, and to increase the area that's available for mental capacity, the brain surface is highly folded.

There are plenty of data on male sexuality and the male brain, and sound new science on the mind body connection is transforming medical practice, from cardiology s use of meditation to the use of talk therapies in treating breast cancer.

It's all happening here in your limbic brain, the part of the brain that controls decision making and not language.

But what if machines change the brain? Evidence from early brain stimulation experiments a half century ago suggests that sending a current into the brain may cause shifts in personality and alter behavior.

This here is Brain.

Healing the Depressed Brain

Robots on the Brain

The Stressed Out Brain

The big brain integrates signals, which come from the running programs of the lower brain, But subsumption means that the higher brain can interfere with the lower.

Anyone who gets up and tells you their theory about how the brain works and doesn't tell you exactly how it's working in the brain and how the wiring works in the brain, it is not a theory.

He studies the brain using MRI, and he claims that this is the most beautiful brain that he has ever scanned.

And we had a robotic device, a humanoid robot, in Kyoto, Japan at ATR Laboratories that was dreaming its entire life to be controlled by a brain, a human brain, or a primate brain.

Now, there's some things that you can do to make your brain grow new brain cells.

Our bodies are hanging along for the ride, but my brain is talking to your brain.

Brain development Social deprivation in early childhood development can also cause neurocognitive deficits in the brain.

So it's different from the motor prosthetics where you're communicating from the brain to a device. Here we have to communicate from the outside world into the brain and be understood, and be understood by the brain.

And so it gets down to the brain.

And then we looked at the brain activity.

Your brain at positive is 31 percent more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.

A program called Brain Electrical Activity Mapping then triangulates the source of that abnormality in the brain.
