A paper in nature presents a brain–computer interface that helped a patient with ALS to communicate at an average rate of 62 words per minute, which is 3.4 times as fast as the previous record and moves closer to the speed of natural conversation.

A paper in Nature Neuroscience presents a new device capable of translating speech activity in the brain into spoken words in real-time. This technology could help people with speech loss to regain their ability to communicate more fluently in real time.

AI continues to make unbelievable advances in healthcare. Researchers have just created a brain implant that decodes thoughts into synthesized speech allowing paralyzed patients to communicate through a digital avatar. This is incredible: -The implant converts brain signals into text at nearly 80 words per minute, focusing on phonemes vs. whole words to enhance speed. -The AI generates realistic vocals (mirroring a patient’s pre-injury voice) and facial animations that aim to enable more natural communication. -The breakthrough brings the tech closer to real-world use, with the next step being a wireless model that doesn’t require a physical connection to the interface. Restoring communication for those with paralysis is an innovation that would change countless lives. While it sounds crazy, mind-reading implants seem to be inching closer to reality.

Alex Conley, who has a spinal cord injury, was the 2nd patient to undergo neurosurgery at Barrow to receive @Neuralink's N1 Implant as part of the PRIME Study. Now, also enrolled in CONVOY, Alex is the 1st to use the brain-computer interface (BCI) device to control a robotic arm.

casey harrell is a climate activist who's been paralyzed by ALS. for years he couldn't talk to his daughter, but now he's the first human being on earth to communicate daily through a brain-computer interface that translates his thoughts into speech. i filmed their conversation.

What is a brain-computer interface? BCIs allow your brain to communicate directly with external electronics—bypassing the rest of the body entirely to let users control tablets or prosthetic limbs using only their thoughts. More on Primer

Global Times reporter has learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources that China’s State Council has recently responded and approved a proposal by the Ministry of Natural Resources to establish a national-level nature reserve at Huangyan Dao. The move was described as an important step to safeguard the biodiversity, stability and sustainability of the island’s natural ecosystem.

NEW: This beanie lets you type with just your thoughts. Sabi just emerged from stealth with a brain-computer interface you wear like a beanie that turns internal speech into text on a screen. • Noninvasive interface worn as a cap or beanie • 70,000–100,000 sensors for high-density brain signal capture • Trained on 100,000+ hours of neural data • ~30 words per minute at launch, improves with use • Backed by Khosla, Accel, Initialized, and Kevin Weil Sabi feels like the first real attempt at a consumer BCI.

Gill: "You think Baltimore is a safe city?" Franklin: "Of course it is." Gill: "Okay. Do you know what the homicide rate is in Baltimore?" Franklin: "Exactly, no." Gill: "It's about 35 per 100,000. Do you know what the homicide rate is in the rest of the United States?" Franklin: "No, I don't." Gill: "I can tell you that the homicide rate in Baltimore is about five times the national average. Do you know how Baltimore's robbery rate compares to the rest of the United States?" Franklin: "At the moment, no, I don't." Gill: "It's about 8.4 times the national average. Do you know how Baltimore's assault rate compares to the national average?" Franklin: "No, I don't." Gill: "It's about 3.4 times higher. Does that sound like a safe city to you?" Franklin: "Safe to me and my family members." Gill: "So that's safe to you? Five times higher than the national average for homicides. That's a safe city?"🏙️ These people are all insane!

A nature paper presents a system of construction that may prevent the collapse of an entire building by ensuring that structural failure is localized to the damaged area. The approach is inspired by lizards’ ability to shed their tail to escape predators.

Ilya and David Chalmers, the same vibe.. "Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, do the same things?"

Speed wobble (also known as death wobble) is a rapid side-to-side shaking of a bike's wheel that occurs at high speeds and can lead to loss of control. It presents as a quick (4–10 Hz) oscillation of primarily the steerable wheel.
