Scientists across neuroscience, biology, and AI are making breakthroughs in decoding—from prosthetic hands that read 19 gestures in real time to neural implants capturing typed thoughts directly from brain signals. Parallel advances in AI inference and animal behavior research are expanding what humans can understand about intention, communication, and cognition.
·Prosthetic hand technology now interprets 19 distinct gestures from user signals in real time
·UC Berkeley researcher wins major prize for cracking the acoustic code of zebra finch songs
·Brain-computer interface successfully decodes typed sentences from neural activity without surgery
·New AI algorithms accelerate language model inference speed by up to 15x using speculative decoding
·Mammalian cells discovered using alternate RNA pathways to produce stable, abundant proteins
