Brain Implant Restores Speech to Paralyzed Man
On Wednesday, July 14th, researchers at the University of San Francisco demonstrated that full words and sentences could be decoded directly from brainwaves! The interface was featured a 128-electrode electrocorticography array placed over the areas of the primary motor cortex responsible for controlling the muscles involved in speech. This is the first time that a brain-computer interface has been able to decode speech directly from brain signals, as previous interfaces have relied on letter-by-letter typing.
