A brain-computer interface (BCI) can translate brain signals into speech with remarkable precision, achieving up to 97% accuracy.

The new technology has been developed with the primary goal of restoring the ability to communicate for people who have lost their speech due to paralysis or neurological conditions.

The BCI functions by detecting brain activity when the user attempts to speak.

It then translates these signals into text that can be read aloud by a computer.

Casey Harrell used the BCI in 84 data collection sessions spanning 32 weeks .

He spent over 248 hours communicating with the help of this technology, both in person and over video chats.

The technology shows great promise not only for ALS patients but also for individuals with other conditions that result in speech impairment, such as spinal cord injuries or strokes.
