You've probably been there: wanting to text someone quickly, but your hands are busy, maybe holding the groceries or cooking.Siri, Alexa, and other virtual assistants have provided one new layer of interaction between us and our devices, but what if we could move beyond even that? This is the premise of some brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). We covered these at Massive before, and some of the and surrounding them.Using BMIs, people are able to , and control without moving a muscle. This is usually done by accessing the region of the brain responsible for a specific movement and then decoding...…You've probably been there: wanting to text someone quickly, but your hands are busy, maybe holding the groceries or cooking.Siri, Alexa, and other virtual assistants have provided one new layer of interaction between us and our devices, but what if we could move beyond even that?

From kids with sugar rushes to grandparents who swear they just need one more bite of chocolate, humans absolutely love sugar. In an , it makes sense. Sugar used to be relatively hard to come by, and it is packed with valuable calories. Recently, however, our relationship with sugar has been complicated, to say the least. In the US, we consume an average of everyday, far exceeding any nutritional guidelines. While we continue to study why our brains love sugar so much, a group of scientists showed that it might not even be, technically, our fault. The team from Columbia University...…From kids with sugar rushes to grandparents who swear they just need one more bite of chocolate, humans absolutely love sugar.
