The surprising finding comes courtesy of two study participants with implanted electrode arrays that record activity at single-neuron resolution.

Neural activity associated with the meaning of words is independent of whether those words are read or listened to, a study finds.

The proof-of-concept study could be a step toward better assisted communication devices for paralyzed people.

AI models can pick up subtle alterations in linguistic and vocal attributes of spoken language that may be indicative of failing health.

A proof-of-principle study raises hopes that technology can give a voice to paralyzed people unable to speak.

Drastic dietary changes during the agricultural revolution altered the configuration of the human bite, paving the way for new sounds in spoken language, a new study finds.

A longitudinal study tracking the progress of an epilepsy patient after surgery shows the brain’s ability to reorganize itself to function nearly normally.
