Brain-to-Voice AI Streams Natural Speech for People with Paralysis

Researchers have developed a brain-computer interface that can synthesize natural-sounding speech from brain activity in near real time, restoring a voice to people with severe paralysis. The system decodes signals from the motor cortex and uses AI to transform them into audible speech with minimal delay—less than one second.

“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.
