Technology company Meta is testing a machine that decodes brain signals into words typed on a computer, using a neural network and artificial intelligence (AI). Although the system is quite accurate (80%), it is not very practical. The machine weighs half a ton, costs $2 million ($48.6 million), needs a shielded room, and even a slight movement of the head interferes with the signal. Still, a team of scientists involved in AI and neuroscience is…

Are machines using AI to become mind readers? Meta already works to read 80 percent of thought-based sentences correctly from the brain without having to implant a brain chip. However, this is not (yet) going by, but only under special laboratory conditions. Presumably, this is only a first step towards the goal. Can AI soon read thoughts? Researchers combined EEG with MEG 35 volunteers registered so that Metas AI can train on their brain signal…

People with severe paralysis have always faced a drastic choice: undergo risky surgery to implant neuroprosthetics, or give up the ability to communicate effectively. Now, thanks to a scientific breakthrough by Meta, that choice may no longer be necessary. A new system called Brain2Qwerty can read brain activity from the outside and turn it into written text, paving the way for a new era in assistive communication. Neuroprosthetics of the presen…
