Neural networks translated a paralyzed man’s brainwaves into conversational phrases. So what’s new: Researchers at UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley trained a system to interpret electrical impulses from the Brain of a man who had lost the ability to speak 15 years ago and displayed them as words on a video screen.
Why it matters: Accidents, diseases, and other tragedies rob countless people of their ability to communicate. This technology opens a pathway for them to reconnect.
How it works: The researchers implanted an array of 128 electrodes into the region of the Brain responsible for the movement of the mouth, lips, jaw, tongue, and larynx. They connected the implant to a computer. Then they asked the patient to try to speak 50 common words and 50 common phrases and recorded the resulting brain activity. They trained the system on 22 hours of these signals,
Results: During tests, the system decoded a median of 15.2 words per minute and translated sentences with a median error rate of 25.6 percent.
