Article Metrics - A streaming brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis to restore naturalistic communication

Thinking of a word and the computer utters it. A new AI-supported brain computer interface is designed to help patients with speech loss. A first test was promising, but there remain open questions. By P. Kiss.

Ai-powered system enables real-time speech generation for paralyzed individuals

California-based researchers have developed a groundbreaking AI-powered system that enables real-time speech generation for individuals with paralysis, using their own voices. This cutting-edge technology, created by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, San Francisco, represents a significant advancement in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. The system utilizes neural interfaces to measure…

Breakthrough brain-to-voice tech brings natural speech within reach for paralyzed patients

The research team overcame the issue of latency – the delay between a person's intent to speak and the production of sound – by leveraging advances in artificial intelligence. Their streaming system decodes neural signals into audible speech in near-real time.Read Entire Article
