Brain implants and AI help voiceless patients to speak up

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Scientists use AI-powered brain-computer interface (BCI) to decipher speech.

Brain chips, a current research focus, are used for recording brain activity and treating several neurodegenerative diseases. In May this year, a man who lost the ability to talk because of a motorcycle incident stood up after 12 years thanks to brain implants that provided a bridge for communication between his brain and spinal cord.

Another area in which brain implants have shown significant potential is deciphering speech. Decoding brain signals to speech.
