Scientists develop world's first 'mind-reading helmet' that translates brainwaves into words

Scientists have developed the world's first mind-reading AI that translates brainwaves into readable text. It works using a sensor-covered helmet that looks at specific electrical activity in the brain as the wearer thinks, and turns these into words. The revolutionary tech was pioneered by a team at the University of Technology Sydney, who say it could revolutionize care for patients who have become mute due to a stroke or paralysis. A demonstration video shows a human subject thinking about a sentence shown on a screen, which then switched to what the AI model decoded - and the results are nearly a perfect match. The team also believes the innovation will allow for seamless control of devices, such as bionic limbs and robots, allowing humans to give directions just by thinking of them.
