Multiple studies show that large language models align with human brain activity during reasoning tasks, with researchers demonstrating that brain signals can actively guide AI performance. The findings suggest a bidirectional relationship between neuroscience and artificial intelligence beyond mere inspiration.
AI data tooling company Encord is experimenting with brain wave technology at its San Leandro, California warehouse to improve training methods for physical AI robots, using Jenga as a testing platform to address challenges in robotic learning.
Keith Thomas, paralyzed from the chest down since a 2020 diving accident, has regained the ability to move his arms and hands and feel touch through a 'double neural bypass' brain-computer interface that routes signals around his spinal cord injury. The breakthrough technology, developed by researchers at Northwell Health's Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, allows him to feed himself and drink from a cup.

Meta AI researchers have developed Brain2Qwerty, a deep learning model that non-invasively decodes typed sentences from brain activity using external sensors, achieving an 18% character error rate. The breakthrough, published in Nature Neuroscience, represents a significant advance toward non-invasive brain-computer interfaces for communication.
Casey Harrell, a 42-year-old man with ALS who lost his ability to speak, has successfully used a brain-computer interface for almost three years to communicate and control his computer, producing approximately 2 million words. The at-home brain implant represents a significant milestone in assistive technology for neurodegenerative disease patients.
