BrainWhisperer is Tether’s Brain-to-text project. Tether is earmarking resources to build technologies that push the borders of intracranial electrocortical decoding. The latest result is a variable ...

Restoring some language for aphasia sufferers, like Bruce Willis and a million other Americans, could involve AI. Brain activity like this, measured in an fMRI machine, can be used to train a brain ...

The work relies in part on a transformer model, similar to the ones that power ChatGPT. Alex Huth (left), Shailee Jain (center) and Jerry Tang (right) prepare to collect brain activity data in the ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate ...

Brain activity like this, measured in an fMRI machine, can be used to train a brain decoder to decipher what a person is thinking about. In this latest study, UT Austin researchers have developed a ...

A new artificial intelligence system called a semantic decoder can translate a person’s brain activity — while listening to a story or silently imagining telling a story — into a continuous stream of ...

Language and speech are how we express our inner thoughts. But neuroscientists just bypassed the need for audible speech, at least in the lab. Instead, they directly tapped into the biological machine ...

Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

UT Austin researchers created a "semantic brain decoder" that can predict thoughts when participants listen to a podcast or imagine telling a story. The decoder did not translate thoughts ...

Sharing our thoughts with others has always required some form of active translation, whether through audible speech, the written word, or visual arts. But what if we could skip that step entirely by ...
