Brain-Computer Interface with 256 Electrodes Restores Speech for ALS Patient with 97.5% Accuracy
Aug 15, 2024, 02:58 AM
A groundbreaking brain-computer interface has enabled a man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to communicate again. The technology, developed by doctors at the University of California, involves the implantation of 256 electrodes in the patient's brain. This text-to-speech brain implant decodes the patient's attempted speech with 97.5% accuracy, allowing him to speak in his natural voice. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine and reported by the New York Times, highlights the potential of using AI and brain implants to restore speech capabilities in individuals with speech impairments.
