A stroke survivor speaks again with the help of an experimental brain-computer implant
Scientists have developed a device that can translate thoughts about speech into spoken words in real time. AP AUDIO: A stroke survivor speaks again with the help of an experimental brain-computer implant AP correspondent Marcela Sanchez reports on a new device that helps translate thoughts into real time speech. This is “a pretty big advance in our field,” said Jonathan Brumberg of the Speech and Applied Neuroscience Lab at the University of Kansas, who was not part of the study. It’s a “streaming approach,” Anumanchipalli said, with each 80-millisecond chunk of speech – about half a syllable – sent into a recorder. The use of voice samples, he added, “would be a significant advance in the naturalness of speech.” Though the work was partially funded by the National Institutes of Health, Anumanchipalli said it wasn’t affected by recent NIH research cuts.
