There's been much work on #AI speech recognition. But the implications for direct #brain to speech decoding, for patients w/ paralysis, stroke or locked in, is remarkable. =Chapter 2 @NeurosurgeryUCSF @UCSF pioneering efforts https://t.co/XQ21fB2eym @NatureComms @UCSFMedicine pic.twitter.com/VUT2UuNxdG

seems like a good time for a reminder that Facebook has already refused to rule out using your brain activity for advertising purposes https://t.co/8o5lDGIvWA https://t.co/I8sG3KDhYi

Today we’re sharing an update on our work to build a non-invasive wearable device that lets people type just by imagining what they want to say. Our progress shows real potential in how future inputs and interactions with AR glasses could one day look. https://t.co/ilk192GwAR

Neuroscientists decode brain speech signals into actual sentences - https://t.co/zo64LCp4tq good news for the paralysed; not so sure for the rest of us...

Neuroscientists decode brain speech signals into written text.

Study is the 1st to demonstrate that specific words can be extracted from brain activity & converted into text rapidly enough to keep pace with natural conversation.https://t.co/9gRe3yWuXZ pic.twitter.com/b5wetcpnga

Lots of work has been done to decode speech from brain signals, this group is constraining the problem by also predicting it based on what we hear and sense, leading to superior results: https://t.co/wHskfFx3Iy

Reactions to: https://t.co/RWmAyEpIcu hmm...

"Understanding commands" is absolutely not the same as "Reading thoughts"

Does not warrant: Facebook! Targeting! Advertising! Be very afraid!

My impression from this: https://t.co/L9jfvPBMyd is:

61% to 76% accurate lie detector.

Facebook's brain-interface project takes it into "human subjects" research as it finances invasive (and non invasive) brain research in academia.https://t.co/6qkFoohBFX

NEW: Facebook is trying to read people’s thoughts, and no one’s ready for the consequences. https://t.co/2G1aMwU9Kt

A Facebook-funded study has resulted in an early-stage brain-machine interface that decodes speech—and even thoughts—with high accuracy. https://t.co/wRDfVJlFIL
