Columbia University has started researching transformative technology that could revolutionize the way people could communicate. It decodes specific signals in the brain that convert our thoughts into words.
The outcome of this research could lead to are endless opportunities, such as creating a system that could help severely paralysed people speak.
It could help people using hearing aids by amplifying the voice they want to listen to and block out any background noise. To understand what the listener wants to hear it uses electrodes placed on the section of the brain that processes sound (auditory cortex)
Researchers then created a deep-learning algorithm that was trained to differentiate voices and look for the closest match between the electrical signature. once the algorithm choice has been made the hearing aid would amplify the voice that matches best with an average accuracy of 91%
