A state-of-the-art brain-machine interface created by UC San Francisco neuroscientists can generate natural-sounding synthetic speech by using brain activity to control a virtual vocal tract — an ...

Are you looking for easy and fun ways to help encourage your toddler's speech development? If so, you come to the right place ...

Back when Lucy was still visible in the sky with diamonds and the Beatles were shrouded in a purple haze, John Lennon reportedly wondered if it wouldn’t be possible to implant some sort of device that ...

A new study published in this month’s Journal of Neural Engineering demonstrates how a brain-computer interface (BCI) uses artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning to translate brain activity to ...

[This is a serialization, with slight updates, of my 2012 article on the subject; for the Introduction (which also discusses my ambivalence about such laws), see this post.] We now turn to specific ...

After more than a decade of development researchers at UC San Francisco have demonstrated, for the first time, a brain implant turning neural activity into full words. The first participant in the ...

The national and global hyperpolitical atmosphere inevitably touches the workplace, where employers and employees must remain productive while navigating the intersection of political expression, ...

Researchers created and used complex neural networks to recreate speech from brain recordings, and then used that recreation to analyze the processes that drive human speech. Speech production is a ...

I have a forthcoming article with this title in an Emory Law Journal symposium issue, so I thought I'd serialize it here; there's plenty of time to improve it, so I'd love to hear people's feedback.

First author Gopala Anumanchipalli holds an array of intracranial electrodes of the type used to record brain activity in the study. (Courtesy: UCSF) Neurological conditions or injuries that result in ...
