From the article: A new brain-computer interface (BCI) developed at UC Davis Health can translate brain signals into speech with an impressive accuracy of up to 97%—claimed to be the highest accuracy ever achieved by such a system.
The [researchers](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2314132) implanted sensors in the brain of a man with severe speech impairment caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Remarkably, he was able to communicate his thoughts within minutes of using the system.
“Our BCI technology helped a man with paralysis to communicate with friends, families and caregivers,” said David Brandman, UC Davis neurosurgeon and co-senior author of the study. “Our paper demonstrates the most accurate speech neuroprosthesis (device) ever reported.”
Peak Star Trek, instead of trying to cure paralyzed patients, we just come up with „solutions“ like this. All while everyone says things like „You don’t need to conform to societal expectations of mobility, we will love you and accept you as you are“. Guess there is more money in this than in actually curing them.
