A bilingual brain implant has enabled a stroke survivor to communicate in both Spanish and English, thanks to the use of AI technology. Scientists utilized a neural network to train the patient's implant to decode words based on brain activity, allowing for communication in both languages. This innovative method mimics the processing of data in a manner similar to the human brain.
The research was conducted by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco's Center for Neural Engineering and Prostheses, showcasing a breakthrough in speech-restoration neuroprostheses. Despite the study involving only one patient, the results indicate promising potential for higher accuracy in the future with further advancements. The bilingual brain implant technology offers hope for restoring natural communication among bilingual individuals with paralysis.
