A new neural prosthetic system allows individuals with severe speech impairments to communicate by thinking their desired words. This approach utilizes sensors implanted in the motor cortex to detect brain activities related to speech attempts, including imagined speech. A machine-learning model interprets these signals to predict what the user intends to say. The system builds on existing communication devices but enhances the process by removing the physical effort traditionally required to speak, paving the way for easier communication for those unable to speak due to conditions like ALS or after a stroke.
The new neural prosthetic system allows users to communicate by simply thinking about what they want to say, eliminating the need for physical speech attempts.
Sensors implanted in the motor cortex detect brain activation, which is interpreted by a machine-learning model to predict user intentions and sounds.
