Facebook says it's getting closer to eliminating one of the tech world's biggest problems
As part of their effort, Facebook has been funding a team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco working to help patients with neurological damage to speak again by detecting imagined speech in real time.and although the patients it worked with each had implanted electrodes measuring brain activity, the demonstrated ability to decode a small set of words and phrases in real-time represents a significant breakthrough.
"If we can now measure signals in the brain via implantable devices, then we can transmit those signals outside of the brain." Todd Richmond, an IEEE member and Director of the Tech and Narrative Lab at the Pardee RAND Graduate School in Santa Monica says"having a viable capability in the lab" to wirelessly send brain signals to a computer could be less than five years away.
