Nature: scientists helped talk to a paralyzed patient, implant

American scientists have developed an implant that gives a paralyzed person the ability to speak and express emotions. It records the neural signals that occur when a patient tries to pronounce a word, and then uses artificial intelligence to convert them into speech

Paralysed people who have lost the ability to speak are able to communicate with their loved ones and express their emotions again.

This was made possible by the development of scientists at the University of California. According to the journal Nature, they were able to develop an implant that reads the neural signals that arise when trying to speak and then uses artificial intelligence to convert them into speech.

The implant is implanted in the speech area of the brain. In addition to speech, the system can transmit emotions, melodies and vocalizations.

It is noted that the implant has already been tested on a patient with lateral amyotrophic sclerosis and showed good results.

Previously, the expert in the field of implantology Maxim Lubuchin responded to common patients' questions about dental implants. Scientists also talked about an implant that relieves pain.
