In a groundbreaking achievement in brain technology, a man with ALS was able to speak instantly—and even sing—after getting a brain implant. Using this cutting-edge device, brain signals are converted into a voice in real-time. Instead of slow texting, this new system allows users to interrupt, express emotions, and engage in natural conversations.
The synthesized voice was understandable about 60% of the time, up from just 4% without it. While the tests have only involved one person, this breakthrough could be huge for millions of people. And yes, it even captures singing—karaoke nights might soon get a whole lot more interesting.
