Translate Brain Signals directly into Speech tagged posts

Schematic of the speech reconstruction method.

Advance marks critical step toward brain-computer interfaces that hold immense promise for those with limited or no ability to speak. In a scientific first, Columbia neuroengineers have created a system that translates thought into intelligible, recognizable speech. By monitoring someone’s brain activity, the technology can reconstruct the words a person hears with unprecedented clarity. This breakthrough, which harnesses the power of speech synthesizers and artificial intelligence, could lead to new ways for computers to communicate directly with the brain...
