Brain-Computer Interface

Three rhesus macaque monkeys equipped with brain-computer interfaces navigated virtual environments using only their thoughts. Researchers implanted around 300 electrodes in motor and premotor cortex areas to enable this control. The experiments aim to improve intuitive control for people with paralysis.

SIGGY, an alternative rock project led by neuroscientist Dr. Galen Buckwalter, has announced the release of its album Wirehead on March 15, 2026. The album draws inspiration from brain-computer interface research that translates neural activity into digital signals. Buckwalter's work with implanted microelectrode arrays at Caltech influenced the project's themes of consciousness and human-machine interaction.
