Researchers successfully allowed a paralyzed woman to communicate with a digital avatar using AI algorithms. They trained a neural network to interpret brain signals into basic speech units. A digital avatar spoke the decoded phonemes for a patient named Ann. She can now communicate 62 words per minute with only a 23.8% error rate using a 125,000-word vocabulary. This technology helps paralyzed individuals express themselves.
