How does the brain manage to catch the drift of a mumbled sentence or a flat, robotic voice? A new study led by researchers ...

Neuroscientists are striving to give a voice to people unable to speak in a fast-advancing quest to harness brainwaves to restore or enhance physical abilities. Researchers at universities across ...

Speaking is one of the most complicated things a human can do. Before you even say a word, your brain has to translate what you want to say into a perfectly sequenced set of instructions to the dozens ...

The claustrum complex, a small yet powerful region in the brain, has intrigued scientists for years. Found across mammalian species, reptiles, and birds, this conserved brain structure is believed to ...

Artificial intelligence is starting to do more than transcribe what we say. By learning to read the brain’s own electrical ...

Marking a breakthrough in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), a team of researchers from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco has unlocked a way to restore naturalistic speech for people with ...

As they age, some people find it harder to understand speech in noisy environments. Now, UB researchers have identified the area in the brain, called the insula, that shows significant changes in ...

Brain-to-speech interfaces have been promising to help paralyzed individuals communicate for years. Unfortunately, many systems have had significant latency that has left them lacking somewhat in the ...

A U.S. neurotechnology startup called Paradromics is gaining momentum in the fast-growing field of brain-computer interfaces. The FDA has approved its first human trial built to test whether its fully ...

UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco researchers have announced a breakthrough in the development of a brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis, which aids in restoring naturalistic speech to people with paralysis.

This post is part one of a series. Speaking feels like the most natural thing in the world. You think a thought, open your mouth, and words tumble out in perfect sequence. Yet this apparent simplicity ...
