Speech arises in the mind. Therefore, speech using only thought is not a big surprise. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are decoding neural activity, translating thoughts directly into words. This breakthrough could revolutionize communication for those with speech impairments, offering new hope for expressing thoughts without vocalization. #Neuroscience #BCI #Innovation #SpeechTech

Tomorrow will start a conference on speech technology… One can imagine algorithms and the ‘AI’ variety to be of special interest for translations between speech, text, languages, meta data and other pseudo-semantic instances. I will be arguing the risks and offer a solution for human behavioural relations, pertaining to the use of so called ‘Large Language Models’s #LLM produce. Throw away after use!

There will be online streaming
