The mind-reading potential of AI

Scientists are getting closer to giving humans the power to communicate with their thoughts alone. In a live demo, researcher Chin-Teng Lin shows how brain-computer interfaces can translate a person's neural signals into text on a computer, potentially opening up a new realm of communication that turns silent thought into words.

Bridging the gap between mind and machine, new AI-powered brain-computer interfaces now translate silent thoughts into words on a screen. In a live demonstration, the system managed around 50 percent accuracy at decoding unspoken sentences using only wearable EEG sensors. This technology is taking rapid strides toward natural, implant-free communication that could help people speak with their minds alone. It opens possibilities for hands-free control, accessibility, and new forms of silent communication.
