Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have created a “semantic brain decoder” to guess someone’s thoughts based on brain activity. AUSTIN, Texas — Scientists at the University of Texas at ...

Language and speech are how we express our inner thoughts. But neuroscientists just bypassed the need for audible speech, at least in the lab. Instead, they directly tapped into the biological machine ...

This video still shows a view of one person's cerebral cortex. Pink areas have above-average activity; blue areas have below-average activity. (Jerry Tang and Alexander Huth) Scientists have found a ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

A new artificial intelligence system called a semantic decoder can translate a person’s brain activity — while listening to a story or silently imagining telling a story — into a continuous stream of ...

Sharing our thoughts with others has always required some form of active translation, whether through audible speech, the written word, or visual arts. But what if we could skip that step entirely by ...

UT Austin researchers created a "semantic brain decoder" that can predict thoughts when participants listen to a podcast or imagine telling a story. The decoder did not translate thoughts ...

A brain wave decoder is figuring out how people think about moving The decoder interprets brain waves generated by people thinking of movement Through the decoder, those thoughts prompted lower leg ...

People with aphasia-a brain disorder affecting about a million people in the U.S.-struggle to turn their thoughts into words and comprehend spoken language. A pair of researchers at The University of ...

Brain activity like this, measured in an fMRI machine, can be used to train a brain decoder to decipher what a person is thinking about. In this latest study, UT Austin researchers have developed a ...
