I am thirsty. Could I have water? “ Immediately, the computer connected to the brain implants translates his thought into words and a synthetic voice alerts the caregivers. Equipped with the same translation system, other patients, paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Charcot disease) or locked-in syndrome, have regained the ability to express themselves … “data-reactid = “24”> We are in 2030. On her hospital bed, a patient, unable to express herself since a stroke, thinks: “I am thirsty. Could I have water? “ Immediately, the computer connected to the brain implants translates his thought into words and a synthetic voice alerts the caregivers. Equipped with the same translation system, other patients, paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Charcot disease) or locked-in syndrome, have regained the ability to express themselves…

Nature Neuroscience. “data-reactid =” 25 “> If it does not yet exist, this” speech decoder “is on the right track today. The team of Joseph Makin, David Moses and Edward Chang, from the university from California to San Francisco (USCF) in the United States, funded by Facebook, has just taken a crucial step in its design. The artificial intelligence (AI) system they have developed already directly decodes sentences of the brain, in real time, with 97% accuracy, a record, as researchers reported in March 2020 in a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

For the experiment, four American patients – already equipped with electrodes in the context of research on epileptic foci – volunteered[…]
