Neuroscience research shows handwriting activates more brain regions than typing, improving memory retention, learning depth and critical thinking, neurologists explain.

Electrodes in a paralyzed man’s brain turned his imagined handwriting into words typed on a screen. The translation from brain to text may ultimately point to ways to help people with disabilities ...

Typing may be faster than writing by hand, but it’s less stimulating for the brain, according to research published Friday in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. After recording the brain activity of ...

As part of the BrainGate clinical trial, researchers are using tiny electrode arrays to record signals from the motor cortex of the brain. Those signals can then be used to control robotic prostheses, ...

When someone is paralyzed from the neck down, it goes without saying that they can no longer write words out by hand. They can still think about doing so, though, and those thoughts could allow them ...

Unlike fonts, handwriting is unique. It reflects mood, pace, and habit. Signatures, notes, and margins carry personal meaning that digital text cannot replicate, which is why handwritten letters, ...

If you're like many digitally savvy Americans, it has likely been a while since you've spent much time writing by hand. The laborious process of tracing out our thoughts, letter by letter, on the page ...

Two microelectrode arrays in the “hand area” of the brain measure neural activity. A recurrent neural network (RNN) then converts the signals into probabilities for each character. These probabilities ...
