Brain–machine interfaces provide a bridge between the human brain and external software or hardware. Such systems detect the brain’s electrical signals and translate them into commands for electronic systems such as a computer or robotic arm. The neural signals can be collected non-invasively using electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes attached to the scalp.

Scientists at Stanford have concluded that the EPA has radically undervalued the climate impact of methane, a “short-lived climate pollutant,” by focusing on a 100-year metric for quantifying global warming. By Phil McKenna The Environmental Protection Agency is drastically undervaluing the potency of methane as a greenhouse gas when the agency compares methane’s climate impact to that of carbon dioxide, a new study concludes.
