From the BRAIN Director: Human-Centered BRAIN Neurotechnology Gives Patients a Voice
Late in 2023, two research groups accomplished an amazing feat. Using a brain–computer interface, they provided speech to two individuals who had lost the ability to communicate due to paralysis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Both studies described “brain-to-speech” neuroprostheses capable of converting a person’s thoughts into speech at over 60 words per minute with an error rate of 25%, albeit with vocabularies of limited sizes.
