Revolutionary Brain Implant Translates Thoughts into Speech with 84% Accuracy
Scientists have developed a tiny brain implant, known as a "speech prosthetic," that can translate electrical signals from the brain into speech. The implant, which contains a large array of sensors, has the potential to help individuals with neurological conditions, such as ALS or locked-in syndrome, communicate through thought. While the technology is still slower than natural speech, researchers are optimistic about its potential to improve with further development. The implant was successfully tested on four patients, and future iterations aim to be wireless and more portable.
