Scientists turn brain signals into speech with help from AI
The technology could lead to devices that restore speaking ability to people who have lost it as a result of brain injury or neurological disorders. An electrode array placed on the brain could help people who've lost the ability to speak. Using electrodes and artificial intelligence , scientists in California have built a device that can translate brain signals into speech. They say their experimental decoder could lead ultimately to a brain implant that restores the ability to speak to people who have lost it as a result of stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. “This is an exhilarating proof of principle that with technology that is already within reach, we should be able to build a device that is clinically viable in patients with speech loss ,” Edward Chang, a professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, and the senior author of a paper describing th...
