☆ 37-year-old built a $50 million bionic hand company—and landed a $1 million 'Shark Tank' offer

Three decades later, he's making bionic prosthetic hands — and his invention drew a $1 million investment offer on a recent episode of ABC's "Shark Tank." The device is manufactured by San Francisco-based startup Psyonic, which Akhtar founded in 2015, according to his LinkedIn profile. "You can control [the bionic hand] with your muscles," said Akhtar, the company's CEO. Organizations like Meta and NASA have used the Ability Hand on robots to help them mimic body movements, Psyonic noted in 2022. Each bionic hand cost $15,000 to make, making it difficult to create inventory at scale, he said.

A development in neurotechnology has given a stroke survivor her voice back after nearly 20 years. The woman had a brain stem stroke that left her paralyzed and unable to speak at age 30. Her new implant uses AI to decode brain signals and convert them to computerized speech.

It's amazing I have lived this long; this study has allowed me to really live while I'm still alive!"

Scientists say they trained AI to recreate a story from a brain scan. The AI was able to read their brainwaves and recreate the story accurately, per a study. The AI was able to accurately predict what the story was about by reading only the participant's brainwaves, per the study. The story doesn't come out exactly like it was told An annotated diagram shows how the AI can read brainwaves and generate a story. The technique can't break into private thoughtsScientists used this brain scanner to collect brainwaves to feed to the AI.
