Machine learning could translate thoughts to speech in near real-time

When you finish reading this sentence, look away from the screen for a moment and repeat it back in your head. Do you know exactly where in your brain this inner "voice" is speaking from? Researchers have tried to map out the regions of the brain responsible for this "inner monologue" for years. One promising candidate is an area called the supramarginal gyrus, which sits a little north of your eyeballs and slightly behind your ears. What's new -- According to new research presented at the recent Society for Neuroscience conference, the supramarginal gyrus could help scientists translate people's inner thoughts.
