In a world first, a team of engineers, neuroscientists and neurosurgeons at the University of California, Davis, and UC Davis Health has demonstrated that brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for translating brain signals into speech can also enable control of a computer cursor.
(Sacramento, Calif.) — Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed an investigational brain-computer interface that holds promise for restoring the ability to hold real-time conversations to people who have lost the ability to speak due to neurological conditions.
A new brain-computer interface (BCI) developed at UC Davis Health translates brain signals into speech with up to 97% accuracy — the most accurate system of its kind.
(SACRAMENTO) UC Davis Health neuroscientist and neuroengineer Sergey Stavisky has received two prestigious awards totaling $3.5 million. The grants will fund research that seeks to restore the speech of stroke survivors and people with ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
