Using a brain implant with a series of electrodes, scientists can read neurological signals and translate the brain activity into spoken language. Chang Lab / UCSF Dept. of Neurosurgery With advances ...

A state-of-the-art brain-machine interface created by UC San Francisco neuroscientists can generate natural-sounding synthetic speech by using brain activity to control a virtual vocal tract — an ...

Someday, people who have lost their ability to speak may get their voice back. A new study demonstrates that electrical activity in the brain can be decoded and used to synthesize speech. The study, ...

WASHINGTON — People robbed of the ability to talk due to a stroke or another medical condition may soon have real hope of regaining a voice thanks to technology that harnesses brain activity to ...

For years researchers have tried to convert brain signals directly to speech, cutting out the muscles we actually use to speak. A new approach out of UCSF puts the jaw back in jawing. Eric Mack has ...

Using brain-scanning technology, artificial intelligence, and speech synthesizers, scientists have converted brain patterns into intelligible verbal speech—an advance that could eventually give voice ...

Conventional speech-generating devices, like the one used by the late Stephen Hawking, typically use nonverbal movements, such as twitches of the eyes or head, to produce words. Users have to spell ...
