Chinese researchers have made significant progress, instilling new hope in those who have lost the gift of speech to restore communication. This was made possible by the implantation of a special microchip into the brain, as reported by News, referring to the development of Shanghai company INSIDE.
Chinese neuroscientists and physicians have achieved impressive results in creating a "brain-computer" (IMC) interface that allows the participants of the experiment to "mentally" pronounce complex Chinese expressions.
This technology, which is currently in clinical trials, opens up prospects for patients suffering from the consequences of a stroke and other diseases leading to loss of speech.
Scientists at the INSIDE start-up in Shanghai and Huasan Hospital at Fujian University have implanted electrodes into the brains of patients suffering from epilepsy.
After 100 minutes of training, a specially designed intellectual system was able to quickly interpret the brain activity associated with the pronunciation of 54 Chinese characters.
The analysis of these symbols allowed the system to recognize with high precision the meaning of 1951 frequently used word and to form full Chinese sentences in less than half a second, almost without limitation of volume.
