TL;DR

A single 253‑electrode implanted array can simultaneously decode intended speech and gestures, translating them into on‑screen text and driving a personalized animated avatar within seconds. In a two‑participant study, the AI‑assisted system tackles overlapping neural signals to enable real‑time, multimodal communication for people with paralysis, signaling a step toward multifunctional neural prostheses for daily use.
