The system translates brain signals from EEG recordings into movement commands, while an AI camera interprets user intent in real time.]]> 112587 https://neurosciencenews.com/bci-inner-speech-decoding-29574/ https://neurosciencenews.com/bci-inner-speech-decoding-29574/#comments Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:14:35 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=112218 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. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/bci-inner-speech-decoding-29574/feed/ 1 112218 https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-speech-ai-bci-neurotech-28539/ Wed, 02 Apr 2025 13:28:32 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=108355 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. ]]> 108355 https://neurosciencenews.com/bci-prosthetics-touch-28364/ Thu, 16 Jan 2025 20:40:26 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=107573 Researchers are making strides in restoring touch sensations to prosthetic limbs through brain stimulation. By using electrodes in the brain's touch center, they can evoke stable, precise sensations, even allowing users to feel the shape and motion of objects. ]]> 107573 https://neurosciencenews.com/bci-voice-thought-26451/ Tue, 16 Jul 2024 22:30:22 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=103715 Researchers enabled a silent person to produce speech using thought alone. Depth electrodes in the participant's brain transmitted electrical signals to a computer, which then vocalized imagined syllables. This technology offers hope for paralyzed individuals to regain speech. The study marks a significant step towards brain-computer interfaces for voluntary communication.]]> 103715 https://neurosciencenews.com/bci-brain-mapping-25808/ Mon, 25 Mar 2024 18:32:35 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=100880 Researchers are trialing a novel brain-computer interface (BCI) with the potential to transform neurosurgical procedures and patient care.
