Neural Speech Prostheses

This report may be related to DARPA’s “silent speech” project. “Researchers at UC San Francisco have a developed a brain-machine interface that may allow speech-impaired patients to “speak” through the device. The researchers have described the system as a stepping stone to neural speech prostheses. The system monitors the brain activity of a user and then converts this to natural sounding speech using a virtual vocal tract. This computer simulation includes anatomically accurate representations of a larynx, tongue, lips, and jaw.” See the video. MORE WITH VIDEO
