Una interfaz cerebro-computadora es una vía de comunicación directa entre el tejido neural y un sistema computacional externo, que evita los canales de salida neuromusculares convencionales para traducir la actividad cerebral registrada en comandos para el dispositivo, voz sintetizada o retroalimentación sensorial restaurada en tiempo real.
El campo se divide a lo largo de un eje de invasividad: modalidades no invasivas - EEG del cuero cabelludo, infrarrojo cercano funcional espectroscopia - ofrecen la adquisición de señales sin riesgo quirúrgico pero con una resolución espacial y una relación señal/ruido muy limitadas; las rejillas de electrocorticografía colocadas en la superficie cortical ocupan un nivel intermedio; y los enfoques totalmente intracorticales, tipificados por la matriz de Utah y el sistema de electrodos de hilo flexible de Neuralink, registran simultáneamente los picos de una sola unidad de cientos a miles de neuronas a costa de la implantación quirúrgica, la respuesta de cuerpos extraños y la degradación de la estabilidad de los electrodos a largo plazo.

Neuronal avalanches as a predictive biomarker for guiding tailored BCI training programs
Published on 2026-05-29 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractMotor imagery-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) restore control in persons with motor impairments, but up to 30% of users struggle, a phenomenon known as “BCI inefficiency”. This study tackles a key limitation of current protocol: the use of fixed-length sessions training paradigms that ignore individual learning variability. We propose a novel approach based on neuronal avalanches, spatiotemporal cascades of brain activities, as biomarkers to characterize and predict user-speci[...]
Our summary: This study introduces neuronal avalanches as predictive biomarkers for personalized BCI training programs. It analyzes electroencephalography data to correlate avalanche characteristics with BCI performance. The findings support tailored approaches to enhance user success and reduce BCI inefficiency.

Large language models reveal the neural tracking of linguistic context in attended and unattended multi-talker speech
Published on 2026-05-07 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractLarge language models (LLMs) capture long-range contextual structure in natural language and have recently been shown to align with the human brain’s contextualized linguistic encoding. This makes them a promising computational probe for studying how context-dependent linguistic information is represented during natural speech perception. Speech perception often occurs in multi-talker environments, where attention must dynamically select among competing streams, yet how contextual info[...]
Our summary: Large language models align with human brain encoding of linguistic context. The study explores how attention affects neural tracking of speech in multi-talker environments. Findings indicate that both attended and unattended speech streams contribute to neural predictions based on contextual information.

Towards the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy as an assessment tool in disorders of consciousness
Published on 2026-04-30 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has emerged as a promising neuroimaging tool for assessing patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). While functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have advanced the detection of covert brain function, their use is often constrained by accessibility, medical and physical contraindications, and practical limitations. fNIRS offers a portable, safe, and cost-effective alternative capable of measuring he[...]

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a comparator circuit and an ADC circuit for a neural interface. The ADC circuit includes the comparator circuit. The comparator circuit comprises a comparator to receive a first and a second signal, and internally amplify the first and the second signal. A bump bias circuit of the comparator circuit receives the amplified first and second signal, and causes the comparator to operate at a higher power level when a difference between the amplified first and second signal[...]
Our summary: The disclosure describes a reference-less level-crossing ADC featuring a bump-based adaptive-bias comparator. The comparator amplifies two input signals and adjusts its power level based on their difference. The ADC includes two comparator circuits and switching circuits controlled by a control circuit for capacitor state management.

All spectral frequencies of neural activity reveal semantic representation in the human anterior ventral temporal cortex
Published on 2026-04-17 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractIntracranial electrophysiology offers a unique insight into the nature of information representation in the brain—it can be used to disentangle information encoded in gamma and high gamma frequencies from information encoded in lower frequencies. We used regularised logistic regression to decode animacy from time-frequency power and phase extracted from electrocorticography (ECoG) grid electrode data recorded on the surface of human ventral anterior temporal lobe (vATL). Power in gamma[...]
Our summary: Neural activity in the anterior ventral temporal cortex encodes semantic information across various spectral frequencies. Intracranial electrophysiology reveals that gamma and high gamma frequencies contribute to reliable decoding of animacy. A broader frequency range enhances decoding accuracy, supporting the concept of a local vATL hub interacting with distributed cortical spokes.

Published on 2026-03-24 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractSteady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have been widely studied because they provide high classification accuracy and information transfer rate (ITR) without requiring user training. To further enhance BCI performance, this study proposes a novel hybrid BCI that integrates single-channel SSVEP with the pupillary light reflex (PLR). Twelve healthy subjects participated in experiments involving three paradigms: SSVEP, PLR, and hybrid. Each sub[...]
Our summary: This study presents a hybrid BCI system that combines single-channel SSVEP and PLR to enhance classification accuracy and information transfer rate. The hybrid paradigm achieved a classification accuracy of 95.70%, outperforming both SSVEP and PLR methods. Results indicate that this approach can significantly improve BCI performance, potentially facilitating broader adoption.
