Artificial intelligence is starting to do more than transcribe what we say. By learning to read the brain’s own electrical chatter, it is beginning to expose the hidden steps our neurons take as they ...

Stimulating a specific part of the auditory cortex immediately improved speech perception over background noise in an epilepsy patient, according to new research in JNeurosci. To treat severe cases of ...

This study presents a valuable advance in reconstructing naturalistic speech from intracranial ECoG data using a dual-pathway model. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is solid, ...

Stroke, brain injury, and neurological diseases rob thousands of people of their ability to speak. Scientists have now developed a technology that can decode words and sentences directly from brain ...

Neurons in the brain's motor cortex previously thought of as active mainly during hand and arm movements also light up during speech in a way that is similar to patterns of brain activity linked to ...

Speech neuroprostheses have the potential to restore communication to people living with paralysis, but naturalistic speed and expressivity are elusive. Here we use high-density surface recordings of ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...
