Now AI Can Turn Your Brain Waves into Text

Brain-machine interfaces have come a long way in the last decade. Now a group of computer scientists and neuroscientists from the University of San Francisco have taken things a step further. The researchers used two neural networks to decode their participant's brain activity and determine what they were saying. What they achieved was real-time translation of neural activity to text. There were four participants, each with 250 electrodes previously implanted in their brains to monitor epileptic seizures, over a region known as the perisylvian cortex.
