A new brain implant can decode a person's 'inner monologue' Did.

The article discusses the development of a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can decode a person's inner monologue, potentially aiding communication for individuals with severe speech and motor impairments. Researchers from Stanford University trained artificial intelligence models to interpret electrical signals from implanted electrodes in the brains of four participants who were paralyzed due to conditions like stroke or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The BCI achieved up to 74 percent accuracy in decoding inner speech, while also addressing ethical concerns by implementing a password-protected feature to safeguard against unintended decoding of private thoughts. The study suggests that future advancements in BCIs could lead to more natural and fluent communication for those unable to speak. [Extracted from the article]
