Neurologists have taught a computer how to read your mind and translate your thoughts into spoken word.
This is slightly more advanced than the EPOC neuroheadset or even the cat ears that react to your emotions.
“The brain activity of volunteers was recorded as they listened to words. These signals were then used to create computer algorithms that could translate brain activity back into audio. Next, the patients were played a collection of new words to see if the algorithms could pick out and repeat recognisable words. Among them were words such as “Waldo”, “structure”, “doubt” and “property”. The study is reported in PLoS Biology”
