When someone loses the ability to speak because of a neurological condition like ALS, the impact goes far beyond words. It touches every part of daily life, from sharing a joke with family to simply asking for help. Now, thanks to a team at the University of California, Davis, there’s a new brain-computer interface (BCI) system that’s opening up real-time, natural conversation for people who can’t speak.
This technology isn’t just about converting thoughts into text. Instead, it translates the brain signals that would normally control the muscles used for speech, allowing users to “talk” and even “sing” through a computer, almost instantly.
