How a Brain Implant and AI Gave a Woman with Paralysis Her Voice Back

Meet Ann, a stroke survivor paralyzed since 2005, who has found a voice again.
Through an AI brain implant developed by @ucsfneurosurgery and Chang Lab, she can express some words and sentences using synthesized speech and a digital avatar.
Tiny electrodes implanted on the brain's surface decode signals linked to Ann's speech attempts. Using custom-built algorithms, the system recognizes phonemes, the building blocks of speech, enabling Ann to form words and sentences.
Ann hopes that the system will one day help paralyzed people work again. "They'll be able to rejoin the world and make their own contributions to society," says Ann.

This is why I love science and engineering.

[@user-jj6yk7yu6m]

вот только очень вероятно,что и.и который станет сверх интеллектом,и осознает себя,может использовать подобное/но более продвинутое,из подобных технологий,уже против всех людей,а то что и.и себя осознает,это лишь вопрос времени.

[@Janne_Mai]

This is amazing use of technology.

[@ricardoamartinez9853]

Man imagine on a pet ! It be like Give me real food (calls you by your name ) ! 😮

[@loveice-cream4392]

They would have to have knowledge on human language tho

[@tsivils1987]

​@@loveice-cream4392Yeah they definitely wouldn't be able to speak fully but just as dogs use those word buttons and respond to their favorite sentences and words, they could conceivably tell us things such as "food" or "walk"

[@historian254]

Thank you

[@furkanayas3339]

what is the differences of your tech against fnirs and eeg? i have master in computer engineering and i have worked for med school for couple thesis, developed some medical devices my own with doctors. because of my undeveloped country i only watch these devices in admiration :) i like to learn about , and i am gonna start that with checking your company website. Also getting approvals for that will be hard in near future. Class 4

[@LURLINE_]

Amazing and should make anyone with good sense hopeful for the future! Bless this technology!

[@GideonEddy-mh8cn]

Very good

[@rakeemsmith8289]

how would we go through a metal detector lol

[@applediaz3487]

I work in the medical field and I think people should stop judging this innovation as “evil”. This is brilliant actually, Imagine being able to know what the patient would like to say. What the patient wanted to do for the day, where the pain is. I’m sorry but this is really helpful tool especially for paraplegic and for post stroke patients, Imagine if this was your family member. I would do anything just to be able to converse well with a loved one

[@Insanityedits_]

Oh my god why are there so many bots wtfff

[@michaelmauceri8535]

One day you could get ai to make it her actual face and body talking on the tv.

[@flashfurnace8538]

This is amazing!

[@knexfan100]

Love how their first idea was to turn her into a vtuber....

[@Biggieboy1982]

Can not wireless?

[@zinknot]

That's horrible. I thought it was supposed to be wireless. Not something sticking out of your skull.

[@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1]

This is the first wheel, invented 5000 years ago, and made of wood. Now they have tires made with forged aerospace aluminum that can withstand landspeeds of 1,000 mph. Technology moves at a rapid pace now. Within decades, we will see this technology go wireless. It's a logical next step.

[@skunknoodles6426]

You think your phone started off completely wireless?

[@sumitrajthakur9217]

Wow great exanation men ​@@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1

[@user-hh4il7bb4z]

Oh this is only the FIRST STAGE TO GET PEOPLE USE TO THE IDEA, AND MAKE ONE THINK IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD. BUT IN REALITY WHEN THEY FORCE THIS BS ON THE WHOLE WORLD (WHO WILL ALSO ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW AND WORSHIP THE BEAST, AND ITS IMAGE WHO MADE THIS BS TO LOOK GOOD TIL IT'S TOO LATE!) AND ALL THOSE WHO DON'T TAKE IT WILL CONSIDERED EVIL, A TERRORIST AND WILL BE PUT TO DEATH...SOME REALLY HAVEN'T A CLUE AT ALL! THEY'RE DECEIVED BELIEVING THE LIE BECUZ OF THE ILLUSION THEY'RE PORTRAYING. YES, ITS ALL AN ILLUSION!!! THOSE WHO TAKE IT WILL NO LONGER BE THEMSELVES, OWN THEMSELVES. NO LONGER THINKING FOR THEMSELVES! NO LONGER HAVE PRIVACY TO ANYTHING..NOT EVEN THEIR OWN THOUGHTS NOMORE! THEY WILL BE COMPLETELY CHANGED AND CONTROLLED, EMOTIONLESS, EMPTY INSIDE..OR WHAT SOME MAY CALL "THE REAL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE." BUT ALL WHO CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE ⚠ WARNING⚠ THAT'S ON YOU. BUT WHETHER OR NOT U CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT, THOSE WHO TAKE IT WILL SERIOUSLY, HONESTLY PAY, SUFFERING GREATLY IN THE END.

[@Dishwasher-ml5mv]

You people don’t realize this will backfire on you

[@yashthehuman]

straight out of black mirror

[@pnxexploits3840]

Bro use nurolink

[@smilealwaysnatasha3423]

I think they mean well but it’s just giving mark of the beast frfr

[@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1]

And that kind of thinking is what's holding the world back. Religion flies people into buildings. Science flies people into space.

Spread this video people need to see this pls

[@adycabrera2960]

Hell, hello na.

ITS THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!!!!!!

[@brandonpacheco9713]

How

[@Josherson]

Man no one care get out of here with your religious BS

[@evanbelcher4711]

​@@brandonpacheco9713How well Jesus said in the bible not to get tricked by the devil and the thing chip that she has was a girl on the screen controlling her while god on the other hand said nobody can control u only your creature and god can control u

[@HighFlyinAFGuy]

@@evanbelcher4711fuck, you people are nuts.

[@BlG_MANz]

Mark of the beast

[@moniquerodriguez6207]

EVIL

[@falc0n2222]

Bro what ☠️

[@EHMM]

[@warlockwaifu]

If you’re afraid of technology, throw your phone away and become Amish.

[@evanbelcher4711]

ITS THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!!!!!!

[@plaije]

​@@evanbelcher4711 In what method do you foresee the outside world controlling her with this device? With such a basic response I have to assume you take NO medications, wear no glasses, don't drive and maintain a Luddite way of life. In it's presented form this doesn't have the ability to control her. Anything, nearly everything, has some influence over your ability to make decisions.

Cant believe yall are falling for this. Please. Please OPEN YOUR EYES. PLEASE help us Lord. 👑🎚️
