Brain waves become spoken words in AI breakthrough for paralysis
California-based researchers have developed an AI-powered system to restore natural speech for paralyzed people in real time and using their own voices.
"Our streaming approach brings the same rapid speech decoding capacity of devices like Alexa and Siri to neuroprostheses," explained Gopala Anumanchipalli, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at UC Berkeley and co-principal investigator of the study that appeared this week in Nature Neuroscience. That AI was trained on brain function data captured from the patient silently attempting to speak the words that appeared on a screen in front of them. This could greatly improve the quality of life for people with paralysis and similar debilitating conditions like ALS, by helping them communicate everything from their day-to-day needs to their complex thoughts, and connect with loved ones more naturally.
