“Mind-Reading” Tech Decodes Inner Speech With Up to 74% Accuracy

Scientists have, for the first time, decoded inner speech—silent thoughts of words—on command using brain-computer interface technology, achieving up to 74% accuracy. By recording neural activity from participants with severe paralysis, the team found that inner speech and attempted speech share overlapping brain activity patterns, though inner speech signals are weaker.

How Intent Shapes Perception of Action

A groundbreaking study used a brain-machine interface to explore how intentions, actions, and their outcomes are temporally linked in the human brain. By recording single-neuron activity from a paralyzed individual with implanted electrodes, researchers enabled intentional hand movement through machine-learning-driven muscle stimulation.
