Speech Recognition from Brain Activity
From: Medical Design Technology - 06/15/2015

Speech is produced in the human cerebral cortex. Brain waves associated with
speech processes can be directly recorded with electrodes located on the
surface of the cortex. It has now been shown for the first time that is
possible to reconstruct basic units, words, and complete sentences of
continuous speech from these brain waves and to generate the corresponding
text. Researchers at KIT and Wadsworth Center, USA present their
”Brain-to-Text“ system in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience
(doi: 10.3389/fnins.2015.00217).
