New brain-to-speech tech can accurately read your thoughts and turn them into speech to help people with disabilities like ALS speak again.
A new interface can accurately read your thoughts and turn them into speech. This new brain-to-speech tech could help people with speech disabilities like ALS speak again. A new study showcasing the tech was published in the New England Journal of Medicine this month, and it outlines how one individual’s involvement in the study helped bring the tech to life.
However, ALS left Harrell able to only communicate at approximately 5-6 correct words per minute, on average just over a mean. However, once he had the new brain-to-speech tech implanted within his brain, Harrell’s ability to communicate improved greatly, and with great accuracy. You can see the entire system in action through the video above.
