American scientists have created a brain implant that reads thoughts

Scientists from Stanford University have published the results of a new study, which was devoted to an experimental neurocomputer interface capable of reading thoughts. In early studies, this technology showed recognition accuracy in 74 percent of cases.

According to the researchers, this is the first brain chip that deciphers and voices internal speech. The implant, which is implanted in the brain, reads neural signals that are generated when a person thinks about a word or sentence, and then displays the words on the screen.

Previously, it was possible to achieve success in deciphering speech when patients tried to move their mouth, lips, tongue or vocal cords. The new development allows it to be used even in those people who are physically unable to pronounce a word or move their mouth.

The device was able to interpret 74% of the sentences created by three patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The system only worked after a password, which the user must voice in his head. To convert neural activity into words that the patient wants to pronounce, the researchers use machine learning methods. According to scientists, the new technology will change the lives of patients with paralysis or other diseases.

Recall that scientists recently proved that time travel will not lead to disasters.
