Scientists have developed a device that can translate thoughts about speech into spoken words in real time. Although it’s still experimental, they hope the brain-computer interface could someday help give voice to those unable to speak. A new study on the technology was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience on Monday. Researchers described testing the device on a 47-year-old woman with quadriplegia who couldn’t speak for 18 years after a stroke. Doctors implanted it in her brain during a clinical trial. More research is needed before the technology is ready for wide use.
