Breakthrough: Casey Harrell, an ALS patient, has been using a brain-computer interface for 3 years, enabling him to communicate despite being paralyzed. BCI trials are accelerating, offering hope but also raising questions about accessibility and ethics. #BrainComputerInterface #ALS #MedicalInnovation

Verge Labs’ #AI model solves patient data problems for #neurology #clinical trial | STAT

Verge Genomics is pivoting, after the clinical trial of its #ALS drug failed. Now, as Verge Labs, the company has built a #brain #AI model to solve patient-stratification #problems for #neurology #clinical trials, @brittanytrang.com reports:

A recent study demonstrates a head-mounted brain implant enabling a paralyzed individual to independently control a computer and generate speech through brain activity, using real-time decoding to translate neural signals into text and cursor movements. The system operates at home without constant expert supervision and achieves high accuracy in communication and device control.

This work highlights how advances in brain-computer interfaces can translate neural signals into practical communication tools, offering insight into the challenges and possibilities of assistive technologies for communication and autonomy. It also underscores the interplay between technology, user experience, and daily living, which is central to understanding how people adapt to new modalities of interaction.

Das Forscherteam hatte schon lange an der Entwicklung von Algorithmen gearbeitet, um Gehirnaktivität in Sprache zu entschlüsseln. Das System zeichnet die Aktivität des motorischen Sprachkortex auf – einer Region des Gehirns, die für die Bewegungen verantwortlich ist, die uns das Sprechen ermöglichen. (+)

This is an amazing story. Humans are capable of such good yet we spend so much effort on greed, hate, and conquest.
