Duke and MIT scientists have discovered an area of the brain that is sensitive to the timing of speech, a crucial element of spoken language. Timing matters to the structure of human speech. For ...

After 150 years of mystery, neuroscience has finally cracked the code on how language works in the brain—and the answer is surprisingly elegant.

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 ...

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 ...

A brain–computer interface has enabled a man with paralysis to speak through a computer. The system records the activity of hundreds of neurons and translates them into voice in real time, effectively ...

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 ...

BERKELEY, Calif. — For the millions of people worldwide who have lost their ability to speak due to stroke, ALS, or other neurological injuries, a revolutionary technology is breaking down barriers to ...
