Brain Implants Enable Speech for Paralyzed Patients Thanks to AI Translation of Neural Signals

Two studies show brain implants can decode speech signals from paralyzed patients at rates up to 78 words per minute.
Electrodes implanted in patients' brains record neural activity associated with attempted speech.
AI algorithms analyze these brain signals and translate them into text, audio speech, or animations.
Patients trained the AI systems to recognize their unique brain patterns for different words and sounds.
The technology shows promise but requires more research before widespread clinical availability.
