Researchers have made advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling individuals with severe paralysis to engage in real-time conversations. This innovative technology, developed by various teams, allows users to produce fluent, audible speech by decoding brain signals from the motor cortex. Notably, a recent demonstration involved a paralyzed individual controlling a speech synthesizer and playing chess online using a Neuralink brain implant, showcasing the potential of BCIs to transform communication for those with impairments. Elon Musk's Neuralink is actively seeking patients globally to participate in trials for its brain chips, encouraging quadriplegics to enroll. The company aims to expand its patient registry worldwide as it continues to push the boundaries of neurotechnology.
