Meta's artificial intelligence research division has announced a significant advancement in brain-computer interface technology that can interpret human brain activity and convert it into written text with remarkable precision. The system achieves up to 80% accuracy in translating neural signals directly into words.
The breakthrough combines two brain monitoring technologies: magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures magnetic fields produced by brain activity, and electroencephalography (EEG), which records electrical activity along the scalp. By analyzing these signals with specialized AI algorithms, researchers can identify patterns associated with specific language processes.
This development represents a major step forward in creating interfaces that could eventually allow direct communication between humans and computers without requiring physical input methods. While still in the research phase, such technology holds potential future applications in assistive communication for people with speech impairments, medical conditions affecting movement, or new forms of human-computer interaction.
