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 ...

It is hoped this type of non-invasive device could be used in the future to restore speech in patients who have lost the ability to properly communicate. US scientists claim to have successfully ...

Welcome to a special episode of Decoder! We’re Nick and Kate, the show’s producers, and for this year-end episode, we’re turning the tables on Nilay and making him answer your listener questions.

This is an important step on the way to developing interfaces that can decode continuous language through non-invasive recordings of thoughts. Scientists have developed a system that can read a person ...

The technology to decode our thoughts is drawing ever closer. Neuroscientists at the University of Texas have for the first time decoded data from non-invasive brain scans and used them to reconstruct ...

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 ...

Most experimental brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that have been used for synthesizing human speech have been implanted in the areas of the brain that translate the intention to speak into the muscle ...
