Scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have discovered a way reading brain activity patterns in humans and converting the activity into text – in the early stages of a ground-breaking mind reading device.
“Brain-to-text” combines knowledge from Neuroscience, Medicine, and Informatics and allows researchers to record brain waves via electroduces located on the surface of the brain’s cortex.
Healthcanal.com reports:
”It has long been speculated whether humans may communicate with machines via brain activity alone,” says Tanja Schultz, who conducted the present study with her team at the Cognitive Systems Lab of KIT. ”As a major step in this direction, our recent results indicate that both single units in terms of speech sounds as well as continuously spoken sentences can be recognized from brain activity.“
These results were obtained by an interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers of informatics, neuroscience, and medicine. In Karlsruhe, the methods for signal processing and automatic speech recognition have been developed and applied. ”In addition to the decoding of speech from brain activity, our models allow for a detailed analysis of the brain areas involved in speech processes and their interaction,” outline Christian Herff und Dominic Heger, who developed the Brain-to-Text system within their doctoral studies.
