AI Breakthrough Enables Real-Time Decoding of Inner Speech

Stanford and UC Davis researchers are using implanted microelectrodes and AI to translate brain signals into text as people imagine speaking, achieving up to 74% accuracy for inner speech in real time. This marks a step toward mind-reading-like communication for patients with severe motor impairments, building on earlier work that decoded attempted speech and other neural signals. While promising, the tech remains imperfect and will require more neurons and broader brain-area sampling before widespread use or commercialization, which researchers and companies are pursuing with ongoing ethical considerations.

Brain's self-voice misfire explains hearing voices in schizophrenia

New UNSW research provides the strongest evidence to date that auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia arise when the brain mispredicts its own inner speech, treating thoughts as external voices. EEG tests across three groups (recent AVH, other schizophrenia patients, and healthy controls) showed healthy individuals reduce brain activity for matched imagined/actual sounds, while those currently hearing voices show the opposite pattern, suggesting a disruption in the brain's prediction mechanism and offering a potential biomarker for psychosis and earlier detection.

Scientists Uncover Brain Mechanism Behind Hearing Voices in Schizophrenia

A study from UNSW Sydney provides strong evidence that hearing voices in schizophrenia may be due to the brain's failure to recognize its own inner speech, with potential implications for early diagnosis and treatment of psychosis.

New Study Confirms Brain Misreading as Cause of Hearing Voices in Schizophrenia

A study suggests that auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia may result from the brain misreading its own inner speech due to disrupted prediction mechanisms, with EEG evidence showing reversed brain responses in affected individuals, potentially leading to early biomarkers for psychosis.

Recent Study Confirms 50-Year-Old Theory on Schizophrenia's 'Voices'

A recent study confirms a 50-year-old theory that auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia are caused by misattributed inner speech, with brain activity patterns showing that affected individuals' brains react as if their internal voices are external, potentially aiding early diagnosis and intervention.

Brain-Computer Interface Breakthrough Decodes Inner Speech in Real Time

Scientists have successfully decoded inner speech with up to 74% accuracy using brain-computer interfaces, enabling potential faster and more natural communication for people with speech impairments. The technology detects overlapping brain activity patterns between attempted and imagined speech, with a privacy feature using a password to control decoding. This breakthrough could significantly improve communication methods for those unable to speak audibly.

"Inner Voice Crucial for Verbal Memory, Study Finds"

A recent study has explored the experiences of people who cannot imagine hearing their own internal monologue, a condition suggested to be called "anendophasia." Researchers found that these individuals may struggle with certain word processing tasks but perform similarly to others when allowed to speak words aloud. The study validates the experiences of those with aphantasia and highlights the importance of consistent terminology in scientific research.
