Researchers at Stanford University have made a remarkable advancement in communication technology. They developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that translates neural signals directly into spoken words. This innovative system was detailed in a study published in the journal Cell. By implanting sensors in the motor cortex, the BCI detects brain activity associated with inner speech. Through machine-learning models, these signals are interpreted in real time, allowing individuals with severe paralysis to communicate using their thoughts. This method opens new avenues for those who struggle to use traditional communication methods. Instead of relying on devices that track eye movements or muscle…
