Scientists Have Found a Way to Convert Human Brain Signals Directly Into Speech

In the first experiment of its kind, scientists have been able to translate brain signals directly into intelligible speech. It may sound like wild science fiction at first, but this feat could actually help some people with speech issues.

And yes, we could also get some futuristic computer interfaces out of this.

Key to the system is an artificial intelligence algorithm that matches what the subject is hearing with patterns of electrical activity, and then turns them into speech that actually makes sense to the listener.

We know from previous research that when we speak (or even just imagine speaking), we get distinct patterns in the brain's neural networks. In this case, the system is decoding brain responses rather than actual thoughts into speech, but it has the potential to do that too, with enough development.

1. the first experiment was tried on trump...

not only were his thoughts translated into speech, they turned them into video. He's a sample of trumps thoughts...
