Decoding Speech from Raw Brain Activity, with Dr. David Moses

Added on October 20, 2023 by Jon Krohn.

Dr. David Moses and his colleagues have pulled off a miracle with A.I.: allowing paralyzed patients to "speak" through a video avatar in real time — using brain waves alone. In today's episode, David details how ML makes this possible.

David:
• Is an adjunct professor at the University of California, San Francisco.
• Is the project lead on the BRAVO (Brain-Computer Interface Restoration of Arm and Voice) clinical trial.
• The success of this extraordinary BRAVO project led to an article in the prestigious journal Nature and YouTube video that already has over 3 million views.

Today’s episode does touch on specific machine learning (ML) terminology at points, but otherwise should be fascinating to anyone who’d like to hear how A.I. is facilitating real-life miracles.

In this episode, David details: 
• The genesis of the BRAVO project.
• The data and the ML models they’re using on the BRAVO project in order to predict text, speech sounds and facial expressions from the brain activity of paralyzed patients.
• What’s next for this exceptional project including how long it might be before these brain-to-speech capabilities are available to anyone who needs them.
