Novel Brain Implants Help Paralyzed People Speak Faster, More Accurately
High-performance brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) decoded brain activity into speech faster, more accurately, and with a bigger vocabulary than existing technologies, two early trials in Nature showed. In the BrainGate2 study, speech-to-text BCI that recorded activity from intracortical microelectrode arrays (MEAs) decoded the speech of a woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at 62 words per […]
