In a world-first, researchers have developed a non-invasive, portable AI system that can decode silent thoughts and turn them into text.<\/h2>\n

The portable AI system, produced by the GrapheneX-UTS Human-centric Artificial Intelligence Centre at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), could aid communication for people who are unable to speak due to illness or injury, including stroke or paralysis.<\/p>\n

It could also enable seamless communication between humans and machines, such as operating a bionic arm or robot.<\/p>\n

The study has been selected as the spotlight paper at this year\u2019s NeurIPS conference<\/a>, a top-tier meeting that showcases world-leading research on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.<\/p>\n

How does the portable AI system decipher silent thoughts?<\/h3>\n

In the study, participants silently read text passages while wearing the portable AI system \u2013 a cap recording electrical brain activity through their scalp using an electroencephalogram (EEG).<\/p>\n

The EEG wave is segmented into distinct units that capture specific characteristics and patterns from the human brain. This is done by an AI model called DeWave developed by the researchers. DeWave translates EEG signals into words and sentences by learning from large quantities of EEG data.<\/p>\n

A demonstration of this technology can be seen in the following video.<\/p>\n
