Scientists have developed a device that can translate thoughts about speech into spoken words in real time.

Although it’s still experimental, they hope the brain-computer interface could someday help give voice to those unable to speak.

A new study described testing the device on a 47-year-old woman with quadriplegia who couldn’t speak for 18 years after a stroke. Doctors implanted it in her brain during surgery as part of a clinical trial.

It “converts her intent to speak into fluent sentences,” said Gopala Anumanchipalli, a co-author of the study published Monday in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

Other brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, for speech typically have a slight delay between thoughts of sentences and computerized verbalization. Such delays can disrupt the natural flow of conversation, potentially leading to miscommunication and frustration, researchers said.

This is “a pretty big advance in our field,” said Jonathan Brumberg of the Speech and Applied Neuroscience Lab at the University of Kansas, who was not part of the study.

A team in California recorded the woman’s brain activity using electrodes while she spoke sentences silently in her brain. The scientists used a synthesizer they built using her voice before her injury to create a speech sound that she would have spoken. They trained an AI model that translates neural activity into units of sound.

It works similar to existing systems used to transcribe meetings or phone calls in real time, said Anumanchipalli, of the University of California, Berkeley.

The implant itself sits on the speech center of the brain so that it’s listening in, and those signals are translated to pieces of speech that make up sentences. It’s a “streaming approach,” Anumanchipalli said, with each 80-millisecond chunk of speech — about half a syllable — sent into a recorder.

“It’s not waiting for a sentence to finish,” Anumanchipalli said. “It’s processing it on the fly.”

Decoding speech that quickly has the potential to keep up with the fast pace of natural speech, said Brumberg. The use of voice samples, he added, “would be a significant advance in the naturalness of speech.”

Though the work was partially funded by the National Institutes of Health, Anumanchipalli said it wasn’t affected by recent NIH research cuts. More research is needed before the technology is ready for wide use, but with “sustained investments,” it could be available to patients within a decade, he said.

Sure, I can help you develop a research paper on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and their ethical considerations. Here's an outline for the paper, followed by the research content and sources.

Research Paper: Brain-Computer Interfaces and Ethical Considerations

Introduction

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are a revolutionary technological advancement that enables direct communication between the human brain and external devices. BCIs have applications in medicine, neuroscience, gaming, communication, and more. However, as these technologies progress, they raise several ethical concerns related to privacy, autonomy, consent, and the potential for misuse. This paper will explore the ethical implications of BCIs, addressing both the potential benefits and the risks.

Overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces

BCIs function by detecting neural activity in the brain and translating it into digital signals that can control devices. These interfaces can be invasive or non-invasive. Invasive BCIs involve surgical implantation of devices in the brain, while non-invasive BCIs use sensors placed on the scalp to detect brain signals.

Applications of BCIs

Medical Uses: BCIs are used for treating neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, ALS, and spinal cord injuries. They can restore lost functions, such as enabling patients to control prosthetic limbs or communicate when other forms of communication are lost.

Neuroenhancement: There is also interest in using BCIs for cognitive enhancement, improving memory, or even controlling devices through thoughts alone, which could extend to various applications such as gaming or virtual reality.

Communication: For individuals who are unable to speak or move, BCIs offer a means of communication through thoughts, which can be life-changing for those with severe disabilities.

Ethical Considerations

Privacy Concerns

Data Security: BCIs have the ability to access and interpret private neural data, raising concerns about who owns this data and how it is protected. The possibility of unauthorized access to neural data could lead to privacy violations, as brain data can reveal personal thoughts, memories, and even intentions.

Surveillance: Governments and corporations could misuse BCIs for surveillance purposes. The potential to track thoughts or monitor individuals without consent raises serious concerns about autonomy and human rights.

Consent and Autonomy

Informed Consent: Invasive BCIs require surgical procedures, and non-invasive BCIs can still impact mental and emotional states. Obtaining informed consent from individuals, particularly vulnerable populations, becomes a critical issue. There is concern that some individuals may be coerced into using these technologies.

Cognitive Freedom: With BCIs, there is a potential for individuals to lose control over their mental states, thoughts, or even memories. The ability to "hack" or manipulate the brain may lead to unethical modifications of cognition, identity, or behavior.

Misuse of Technology

Weaponization: As mentioned in your previous request, there are concerns that BCIs could be misused for mind control or as a tool for weapons. The potential for military applications of BCIs could lead to unethical uses, such as controlling soldiers or civilians.

Exploitation: There is a risk that BCIs could be used for exploitative purposes, such as manipulating individuals' thoughts, emotions, or behavior for commercial gain or political control.

Psychological and Social Impacts

Psychological Effects: The integration of external devices with the brain could have unintended psychological effects, such as changes in personality, mental health issues, or cognitive distortions. The potential for addiction to BCI-driven experiences or environments, such as virtual reality, could further impact individuals' mental well-being.

Social Inequality: Access to BCIs may be limited by economic factors, creating disparities between those who can afford to enhance their cognitive abilities and those who cannot. This could exacerbate existing inequalities in society.

Regulation and Oversight

Ethical Standards: As BCI technology continues to develop, it is crucial to establish ethical standards and regulations to govern their use. This includes ensuring the technology is used responsibly, protecting individuals' rights, and preventing exploitation or harm.

Government Involvement: Governments may have a role in regulating the use of BCIs, but there is also the concern that they could misuse the technology for surveillance, control, or military applications. Ensuring the balance between innovation and regulation is key to the ethical deployment of BCIs.

Conclusion

Brain-Computer Interfaces hold immense potential for improving lives, particularly for individuals with disabilities, but they also come with significant ethical concerns. Privacy, autonomy, misuse, and the potential psychological and social impacts must be carefully considered as this technology continues to evolve. Ethical standards, regulation, and oversight will be essential to ensure that BCIs are used responsibly and equitably.

The science of a Bidirectional Brain Computer Interface with a function to work from a distance is mistakenly reinvented by laymen as the folklore of Remote Neural Monitoring and Controlling

Critical thinking

How good is your information when you call it RNM? It’s very bad. Is your information empirically validated when you call it RNM? No, it’s not empirically validated.

History of the RNM folklore

In 1992, a layman Mr. John St. Clair Akwei tried to explain a Bidirectional Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology, which he didn't really understand. He called his theory Remote Neural Monitoring. Instead of using the scientific method, Akwei came up with his idea based on water. Lacking solid evidence, he presented his theory as if it were fact. Without any real studies to back him up, Akwei twisted facts, projected his views, and blamed the NSA. He lost his court case and was sadistically disabled by medical practitioners using disabling pills. They only call him something he is not. Since then, his theory has gained many followers. Akwei's explanation is incorrect and shallow, preventing proper problem-solving. As a result, people waste life-time searching for a true scientific explanation that can help solve this issue. When you call it RNM, the same will be done to you as to Mr. Akwei (calling you something you are not and sadistically disabling you with pills).

Critical thinking

Where does good research-based information come from? It comes from a university or from an R&D lab.

State of the art in Bidirectional BCI

Science-based explanation using Carnegie Mellon University Based on the definition of BCI (link to a scientific paper included), it’s a Bidirectional Brain Computer Interface for having a computer interact with the brain, and it’s extended only with 1 new function to work from a distance.

It’s the non-invasive BCI type, not an implanted BCI. The software running on the computer is a sense and respond system. It has a command/function that weaponizes the device for a clandestine sabotage against any person. It’s not from Tesla, it’s from an R&D lab of some secret service that needs it to do surveillance, sabotages and assassinations with a plausible deniability.

You need good quality information that is empirically validated, and such information comes from a university or from an R&D lab of some large organization. It won’t come from your own explanations because you are not empirically validating them which means you aren’t using the scientific method to discover new knowledge (it’s called basic research).

Goal: Detect a Bidirectional BCI extended to work from a distance (it’s called applied research, solving a problem using existing good quality information that is empirically validated)

Strategy: Continuous improvement of Knowledge Management (knowledge transfer/sharing/utilization from university courses to the community) to come up with hypotheses + experimentation with Muse2 to test your hypotheses and share when they are proved).

This strategy can use existing options as hypotheses which is then an applied research. Or, it can come up with new, original hypotheses and discover new knowledge by testing them (which is basic research). It can combine both as needed.

Carnegie Mellon University courses from Biomedical Engineering (BME)

Basics (recommended - make sure you read):

42665 | Brain-Computer Interface: Principles and Applications:

Intermediate stuff (optional - some labs to practice):

2. 42783 | Neural Engineering laboratory - Neural engineering involves the practice of using tools we use to measure and manipulate neural activity: https://www.coursicle.com/cmu/courses/BMD/42783/

Expert stuff (only if you want to know the underlying physics behind BCI):

3. 18612 | Neural Technology: Sensing and Stimulation (this is the physics of brain cells, explaining how they can be read from and written into) https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/skkelly/18819e/18819E_Syllabus_F12.pdf

You have to read those books to facilitate knowledge transfer from the university to you.

With the above good quality knowledge that is empirically validated, the Bidirectional BCI can be likely detected (meaning proved) and in the process, new knowledge about it can be discovered.

Purchase a cheap unidirectional BCI device for experiments at home

Utilize all newly gained knowledge from the above books in practice to make educated guesses based on the books and then empirically validate them with Muse2. After it is validated, share your good quality, empirically validated information about the undisclosed Bidirectional BCI with the community (incl. the steps to validate it).

Python Project

Someone who knows Python should try to train an AI model to detect when what you hear is not from your ear drums. Here is my initial code: https://github.com/michaloblastni/insultdetector You can try this and send me your findings and improvements.

How to do research

Basic research makes progress by doing a literature review regarding a phenomenon, then identifying main explanatory theories, making new hypotheses and conducting experiments to find what happens. When new hypotheses are proved the existing knowledge is extended. New findings can be contributed back to extend existing theories.

In practice, you will review existing scientific theories that explain i.e. the biophysics behind sensing and stimulating brain activity, and you will try to extend those theories by coming up with new hypotheses and experimentally validating them. And then, you will repeat the cycle to discover more new knowledge. When it's a lot of iterations, you need a team.

In applied research, you start with a problem that needs solving. You do a literature review and study previous solutions to the problem. Then, you should synthesize a new solution from the existing ones, and it should involve extending them in a meaningful way. Your new solution should solve the problem in some measurably better way. You have to demonstrate what your novel solution does better i.e. by measuring it, or by proving it with some other way.

In practice, you will do a literature review of past designs of Bidirectional BCI and make them your design options. Then, you will synthesize a new design option from all the design options you reviewed. The new design will get you closer toward making a Bidirectional BCI work from a distance. Then, you will repeat the cycle to improve upon your design further until you eventually reach the goal. When it's a lot of iterations, you need a team.

Using a Bidirectional BCI device to achieve synthetic telepathy

How to approach learning, researching and life

At the core, the brain is a biological neural network. You make your own connections in it stronger when you repeatedly think of something (i.e. while watching an expert researcher on youtube). And your connections weaken and disconnect/reconnect/etc. when you stop thinking of something (i.e. you stop watching an expert on how to research and you start watching negative news instead).

You train yourself by watching/listening/hanging out with people, and by reading about/writing about/listening to/doing certain tasks, and also by other means.

The brain has a very limited way of functioning because when you stop repeatedly thinking of something it soon starts disappearing. Some people call it knowledge evaporation. It’s the disconnecting and reconnecting of neurons in your biological neural network. Old knowledge is gone and new knowledge is formed. It’s called neuroplasticity. It’s the ability of neurons to disconnect, connect elsewhere, etc. based on what you are thinking/reading/writing/listening/doing.

Minimize complexity by starting from the big picture (i.e. a theory that explains a phenomenon). Then, proceed and do problem solving with a top-down decomposition into subproblems. Focus only on key information for the purpose of each subproblem and skip other details. Solve separate subproblems separately.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink looking for volunteer to have piece of their skull cut open by robotic surgeon

Elon Musk’s chip implant company Neuralink is looking for its first volunteer who is willing to have a piece of their skull removed so that a robotic surgeon can insert thin wires and electrodes into their brain.

The ideal candidate will be a quadriplegic under the age of 40 who will also for a procedure that involves implanting a chip, which has 1,000 electrodes, into their brain, the company told Bloomberg News.

The interface would enable computer functions to be performed using only thoughts via a “think-and-click” mechanism.

After a surgeon removes a part of the a skull, a 7-foot-tall robot, dubbed “R1,” equipped with cameras, sensors and a needle will push 64 threads into the brain while doing its best to avoid blood vessels, Bloomberg reported.

Each thread, which is around 1/14th the diameter of a strand of human hair, is lined with 16 electrodes that are programmed to gather data about the brain.

The task is assigned to robots since human surgeons would likely not be able to weave the threads into the brain with the precision required to avoid damaging vital tissue.

Elon Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink is looking for human volunteers for experimental trials.AP

The electrodes are designed to record neural activity related to movement intention. These neural signals are then decoded by Neuralink computers.

R1 has already performed hundreds of experimental surgeries on pigs, sheep, and monkeys. Animal rights groups have been critical of Neuralink for alleged abuses.

“The last two years have been all about focus on building a human-ready product,” Neuralink co-founder DJ Seo told Bloomberg News.

“It’s time to help an actual human being.”

It is unclear if Neuralink plans to pay the volunteers.

The Post has sought comment from the company.

Those with paralysis due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may qualify for the study, but the company did not reveal how many participants would be enrolled in the trial, which will take about six years to complete.

Musk’s company is seeking quadriplegics who are okay with their skull being opened so that a wireless brain-computer implant, which has 1,000 electrodes, could be lodged into their brain.REUTERS

Neuralink, which had earlier hoped to receive approval to implant its device in 10 patients, was negotiating a lower number of patients with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after the agency raised safety concerns, according to current and former employees.

It is not known how many patients the FDA ultimately approved.

“The short-term goal of the company is to build a generalized brain interface and restore autonomy to those with debilitating neurological conditions and unmet medical needs,” Seo, who also holds the title of vice president for engineering, told Bloomberg.

The brain chip device would be implanted underneath a human skull.

“Then, really, the long-term goal is to have this available for billions of people and unlock human potential and go beyond our biological capabilities.”

Musk has grand ambitions for Neuralink, saying it would facilitate speedy surgical insertions of its chip devices to treat conditions like obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia.

The goal of the device is to enable a “think-and-click” mechanism allowing people to use computers through their thoughts.Getty Images/iStockphoto

In May, the company said it had received clearance from the FDA for its first-in-human clinical trial, when it was already under federal scrutiny for its handling of animal testing.

Even if the BCI device proves to be safe for human use, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the startup to secure commercial use clearance for it, according to experts.

How Biotech Is Unlocking the Secrets of the Brain

If you're working at the intersection of neuroscience and biotechnology, you already know that decoding the brain isn't science fiction—it's a race. You’re seeing biotech tools go from research concepts to clinical assets, helping you map circuits, diagnose conditions, and deliver therapies that reach deep into the nervous system. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how biotech is turning complex neurological questions into actionable data and life-changing interventions.

Brain Mapping Is No Longer Just Imaging

You’re not limited to traditional fMRI scans anymore. Tools like START (Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing) are giving you a new way to map neural circuits with cellular precision. Instead of just watching where blood flows in the brain, you’re tracing which neurons talk to each other and what genes they express while doing it.

That level of detail means you can now build models of brain function that actually match the biology. This isn't just helpful for curiosity’s sake—it changes how you identify targets for neurological diseases. Whether you're exploring Parkinson’s or rare motor neuron conditions, mapping gives you the wiring diagram you’ve always needed.

AI Is Doing the Diagnostic Heavy Lifting

When you're evaluating EEGs or brain scans, speed matters. AI platforms like Ceribell's rapid EEG have transformed how quickly and accurately you can diagnose seizures and neurological events. Instead of hours of monitoring in a neuro ICU, you can deploy a wearable EEG and get meaningful readings within minutes.

That doesn’t just save time—it saves lives. Early intervention in epilepsy or stroke depends on catching the issue right when it happens. AI-driven diagnostics also free up your team to focus on treatment decisions instead of hours of manual interpretation.

Brain-Computer Interfaces Are Becoming Practical Tools

The idea of communicating directly with the brain used to feel theoretical. Now it’s becoming clinical. Companies like Precision Neuroscience are designing minimally invasive brain-computer interface implants that can record brain signals without deep surgical procedures.

If you're working with patients who have paralysis or ALS, BCIs offer the possibility of digital communication through thought alone. You’re also looking at applications for rehabilitation, cognitive support, and even prosthetic control. It’s a huge leap from theory to practice, and the fact that these tools are getting regulatory approval means they’re closer to bedside use than ever.

The Blood-Brain Barrier Is No Longer a Wall

One of the biggest roadblocks in treating brain diseases has always been getting therapeutics into the brain in the first place. The blood-brain barrier blocks most drugs from crossing over. But biotech is giving you workarounds—BioArctic, for example, is developing transporter technology that mimics the way nutrients naturally cross the barrier.

This isn’t a workaround in the crude sense—it’s precision engineering. You attach your drug payload to a molecule that the brain already recognizes and lets in. Once inside, your therapy gets to work on targets that were previously unreachable. That could change the game for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

AI Is Also Reinventing Drug Discovery for the Brain

Designing drugs for the brain is harder than for almost any other organ. There are too many unknowns. But that’s exactly where machine learning thrives. Startups like Verge Genomics are feeding AI models with genomic and clinical data to identify which genes are most relevant to diseases like ALS and Parkinson’s.

Once you know the right targets, you can run simulations to test compound libraries and narrow your focus before you ever touch a test tube. This trims years off your timeline and slashes costs. For any biotech startup working in the CNS space, it’s an edge you can’t ignore.

Wearables Are Making Brain Monitoring Continuous

Clinical-grade EEGs used to be something you only saw in hospitals. Now they’re going mobile. Devices from companies like BioSerenity let you monitor brain activity over days or weeks, capturing data that static hospital visits often miss.

If you’re managing patients with epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries, or sleep disorders, wearables let you collect real-world evidence in real-time. You’re not just getting occasional snapshots—you’re getting the full story, which helps you diagnose and personalize treatment far more effectively.

Biotech Is Tapping Into Neuroplasticity

You know that the brain can rewire itself, but until recently, we had no way to reliably guide that process. That’s changing. Delix Therapeutics is developing non-hallucinogenic psychoplastogens—molecules that promote neural growth and reorganization without inducing psychedelic effects.

That’s a big deal if you're trying to treat depression, PTSD, or even substance abuse disorders. You’re helping the brain form healthier pathways without relying on daily dosing or months of therapy. It’s a new class of medication that works with biology’s own adaptability.

In Conclusion

Biotech isn’t just helping you understand the brain—it’s letting you interact with it in ways that weren’t possible a few years ago. Whether you're decoding neural circuits, delivering targeted treatments, or giving patients new tools to live independently, you're operating in a field where the pace of innovation is relentless. And that's the exciting part: you’re not just studying the brain anymore—you’re actively shaping how it's healed, supported, and understood.
