Zooming in on the auditory cortex, the researchers found three unique sets of neurons that light up while we listen to music. Two sets of neurons encode absolute pitch (individual musical notes) and ...

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, ...

Brain activity during speech follows a layered timing pattern that matches large language model steps, showing how meaning builds gradually.

A small brain region reacts strongly to chimp calls. This shows that our voice system links to older primate signals.

Artificial intelligence is starting to do more than transcribe what we say. By learning to read the brain’s own electrical ...

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 ...

Receptive aphasia can have a profound effect on quality of life, but with skilled therapy and steady support, many people make meaningful progress.

FDA approves first human trial for Paradromics' brain-computer interface that could restore speech for paralyzed patients through neural technology.

Abstract: Electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity recorded from the speech cortex has been extensively characterized and used in the development of speech neuroprosthetics. A recent shift in clinical ...

Neuralink Corp., Elon Musk’s brain implant company, plans to launch a clinical trial in the US in October aiming to use its device to translate thoughts into text, potentially opening up new ...

The Trump administration is enthusiastically abusing its power to intimidate anyone who criticizes its policies, and to silence those who won't fall in line. Now, using a long-standing government ...
