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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have made new improvements to a "brain decoder" that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to convert thoughts into text. Their new converter algorithm can quickly train an existing decoder on ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have created a “semantic brain decoder” to guess someone’s thoughts based on brain activity. AUSTIN, Texas — Scientists at the University of Texas at ...

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 ...

This video still shows a view of one person's cerebral cortex. Pink areas have above-average activity; blue areas have below-average activity. (Jerry Tang and Alexander Huth) Scientists have found a ...

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 ...

A brain wave decoder is figuring out how people think about moving The decoder interprets brain waves generated by people thinking of movement Through the decoder, those thoughts prompted lower leg ...

When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal circuits below the injury is interrupted, resulting in paralysis. Because the brain is ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have created a "semantic brain decoder" to guess someone's thoughts based on brain activity. During tests, it captured the gist of what someone was ...
