Researchers have developed a neural brain implant that enables near-instantaneous speech generation. Unlike previous approaches that focused on decoding intended words, this new system interprets brain signals related to vocal tract movements. This allows for more fluid and adaptable communication, potentially benefiting individuals with paralysis or other speech impairments. The technology offers a significant advancement in brain-computer interfaces by prioritizing the mechanics of sound production over lexical selection, resulting in a more natural and responsive speech output.
