A New Voice
Imagine being unable to speak for over 20 years. That’s what happened to Ann after a brain stem stroke. But now, she can talk again thanks to artificial intelligence.
A special system with electrodes in her brain turns her brain signals into real words. It even sounds like her own voice. This was made possible by a video of her wedding, which helped recreate her voice.
This breakthrough could change everything.
The Future of Voice Restoration
According to Juan Lerma from the CSIC Neurosciences Institute, we might not need brain surgery for implants in the future. This shows that it’s possible to get your voice back even if you’ve lost it.
Here’s how it works:
- Electrodes in the brain pick up signals
- Those signals are turned into words
- The words are spoken in the person’s own voice
Ann’s story is a game-changer. It gives hope to people who have lost their voice due to illness or injury. With this technology, they might be able to speak again someday.
