Reading minds may seem like science fiction. But by eavesdropping on specific connections in the brain, scientists can translate certain signals into text, speech or even movement using brain-computer interfaces. Those brain recordings also drive neuroprosthetics, which use signals in the brain or other nerve cells to move a robotic prosthetic in real time. In addition to translating signals in the brain, scientists are studying how bioelectric medicine can stimulate the nervous system to communicate with other systems in the body, an approach that one day may be used to treat certain diseases.
