Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in @Nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C

Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇

We're excited to announce the Brain-to-Text '25 competition, with a new intracortical speech neuroscience dataset and $9,000 in prizes generously provided by @BlackrockNeuro_!. Can you do better than us at decoding speech-related neural activity into text? kaggle.com/competitions/b…

This is an excellent news piece in @Nature by @MiryamNaddaf covering our recent brain-to-voice BCI paper. It aptly highlights the key findings of the study that enabled a man with ALS to speak in real time using the BCI.

Thank you for your enthusiasm about our work, and for the kind words. Lead-author @Maitreyee_W has set a new benchmark for the field. The future is bright! @SergeyStavisky

Huge congratulations to Dr. @Maitreyee_W and her colleagues @UCDavisHealth ! They demonstrated a brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis that instantaneously synthesizes voice in a man with ALS and severe dysarthria. See paper in @Nature 👏👏👏 @UCDavisMedCntr @UCDneurosurgery

Years of #BRAINInitiative research on monitoring brain circuits led to a brain-computer-interface to enable a man with #ALS to speak and even sing again. Amazing! But this is just the beginning of advances to come from neural circuit science . nature.com/articles/d4158…

#Pune-born Dr. Maitreyee Wairagkar (@Maitreyee_W) helps a man with #ALS speak again using a brain-computer interface—restoring not just speech, but emotion and song. This is science with a soul. 📰 Read more: medboundtimes.com/medbound-blog/…

A brain-computer interface has enabled a man with paralysis to have real-time conversations, without the usual delay in speech newscientist.com/article/248391…

This is a digital voice-box for a man with paralysis. It translates his intention to speak into sounds with the timing latencies of able-bodied people. @Maitreyee_W made this incredible work happen and has set a new benchmark for the field.

Congrats to @Maitreyee_W @NS_Card Tyler Singer-Clark, Xianda Hou, @ca_rrina Lee Miller @neuroleigh @DrDavidBrandman and @SergeyStavisky for this incredible brain-to-voice BCI project: nature.com/articles/s4158… @ucdavis @UCDavisHealth @MGHNeurology @MGH_CNTR @brownengin

A new study by @Maitreyee_W shows promise for brain-computer interfaces: A brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis can instantaneously restore intelligible and expressive speech to those with paralysis. nature.com/articles/s4158… @SergeyStavisky @DrDavidBrandman
