August 26, 2025
Researchers in the US have developed a new implant that converts thoughts into speech with high accuracy, aiding individuals with speech or mobility disorders. The device detects neural activity and decodes patterns related to phonemes. Tests show an accuracy rate of up to 74% in converting thoughts to speech. Despite this progress, privacy protection presents a challenge due to the risk of decoding internal thoughts. Scientists are optimistic about the future of this technology.
