Neuroscientists are racing to turn brain waves into speech

Voice neuroprosthesis technology could help thousands of people with speech loss due to conditions like stroke or ALS. Researchers are working to capture high-resolution brain signals and develop systems that can be implanted long-term. Precision Neuroscience has received regulatory clearance to leave sensors implanted for up to 30 days, potentially creating a large repository of neural data. The technology faces challenges, including patient learning time and understanding how brain response patterns vary between individuals.
