a study from researchers at the University of California, San Francisco develops an algorithm that can turn brain activity into text in realtime. The team states they use an electrocorticogram (ECoG), an electrical monitoring technique that records activity in the cerebral cortex via electrodes placed directly on the exposed brain, to detect and decode neural patterns into text while the person is speaking out loud.

Researchers develop a BCI that can turn brain activity into text.

Life-changing injuries or life long disabilities can be extremely challenging and overwhelming at times, with researchers working around the clock to improve life for the newly or long-termed disabled. A brain-Computer Interface (BCI) conjoins the brain to artificial intelligence (AI), recording brainwaves to enable communication or to control a neuroprosthesis. This technology is now being widely used, however, there is still a lot of room … Continue reading Researchers develop a BCI that can turn brain activity into text.
