Scientists a The ability to translate thoughts About speech in words that speak in real time. Although it is still in a test phase, they believe it Brain-ordered interface He can someday help those who cannot communicate for speech.
A new study describes device tests 47 -year girl with tetraplessia Unable to speak 18 years after stroke. Doctors fitted it in the brain during a surgical intervention within the structure of A Medical test. The device changes the effort to speak Liquid phrasesGopala Amanasipalli, co -editor of the study published in the Nature Neuro Sciences, “says Gopala.
Other interfaces made of brain-ordered (PCI) speech they usually have little delay in thinking and phrases Computerized oral. According to researchers, these delays can cause disruption to the normal flow of the conversation and can cause communication and frustration failures.
It is “a In large advance In our field, the University of Kansas (USA) is used and the speech neurological laboratory says. He did not participate in the study.
How the brain implant works
A California Group registered Brain activity With electrodes when pronounced phrases as silence in his brain. Scientists used a Syrtzizer They were tied up with the woman’s voice before she hurt themselves to create the sound she pronounced. Then they trained a model Artificial Intelligence (AI) It translates neurological function into sound units.
Amiankapalli, de la University of California in Bergle (USA), explains that it works the same as the systems used Editing Or real -time phone calls.
Exit It is placed in the center of the brain speech to hear and the signals are translated Talks that make up phrases. According to Hamansipalli, this is a “continuous flow approach” in which 80 ml seconds (approximately middle characters) are sent to a recorder. “The phrase is not expected to end,” explains Anumanjipalli. “It processes it when it flies.”
According to Pamburg, Decode talk So quickly you can follow the speed of natural speech. He added that the use of voice samples refers to a significant improvement in the natural nature of speech. ”
Although some funded by the US national organizations in the US, he said that he was not affected by the consecration Recent research cuts Nih’s. It is necessary to continue to investigate before the technology is ready for common use, but it may be available to patients in a decade through “prolonged investments”.
