En attendant d'écrire des livres directement avec son esprit...

> Les recherches de connectivité entre le cerveau et l’ordinateur progressent constamment : la machine pallie une fonction motrice ou linguistique, pour améliorer le quotidien de personnes paralysées. Récemment, deux inventions issues de laboratoires américains ont été présentées, avec des résultats étonnants.

All contemporary #brain #implants for restoring #vision to the #blind share one big oversight: the visual cortex in its 6 layers not just represents visual input from the eyes, but also feedback signals from higher visual areas for error signals with respect to predictions; #BCI

Ultra-high density electrodes improve detection, yield, and cell type specificity of brain recordings https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.23.554527v2 but #Neuropixels probes offer no brain stimulation; #BCI #NeuroTech

Brain-reading devices allow paralysed people to talk using their thoughts

“It is now possible to imagine a future where we can restore fluid conversation to someone with paralysis, enabling them to freely say whatever they want to say with an accuracy high enough to be understood reliably”

But, the perennial issue with #BCI: A BCI suitable for everyday use would have to be made of a fully implantable system with no visible connectors or cables.

Die Forschung an Brain-Computer-Interfaces schreitet voran. Einen großen Fortschritt berichten zwei Studien in @Nature: Demnach können zwei #BCI so gut wie nie zuvor bei Gelähmten aus Hirnsignalen Sprache generieren.

"To be able to discern a face or enough of the outlines of objects in the real world to navigate, say, a room, a blind person would need to have between 1,000 and 2,000 electrodes inserted surgically into the visual cortex." The vOICe offers that resolution w/o surgery.

Neuroscientists Re-create Pink Floyd Song from Listeners’ Brain Activity

"If a brain-computer interface could re-create someone’s speech with the inherent prosody and emotional weight found in music, it could reconstruct far more than just words. “Instead of robotically saying, ‘I. Love. You,’ you can yell, ‘I love you!’”
