I really like developments like this. "A brain implant and digital avatar allow a paralyzed stroke survivor to speak with for first time in 18 years with the help of artificial intelligence." The software doesn't 'read her mind' (we don't have words in our brain) but rather interprets her attempts to manipulate muscles as she tries to speak. "The researchers created customized machine-learning processes that allowed the company's software to mesh with signals being sent from Ann's brain as she was trying to speak and convert them into the movements on her avatar's face." Don't miss the video. Related: neuroscientists reconstruct a Pink Floyd song from listeners' brain activity, with a little help from AI.
