Revolutionary Brain Implant Decodes Thoughts for Speech
TL;DR
Scientists at Duke University have developed a brain implant that can translate brain signals into words, allowing wearers to communicate using thoughts alone. The implant, which is faster and less cumbersome than other mind-reading technologies, has the potential to transform the lives of people with neurological disorders. The researchers plan to improve the technology's speed and make it wireless, and have received a $2.4 million grant to continue their work.
