Brain chip helps ALS sufferer regain speech
A pioneering new AI system has offered hope to ALS sufferers around the world. The most common form of Motor Neurone Disease, ALS attacks the neurons in the body’s central nervous system that control movement and speech, with Stephen Hawking being its most notable sufferer. Now one patient has regained her ability to speak thanks to a series of tiny brain implants, part of a clinical trial at Stanford University.
The implants have allowed 68-year-old Pat Bennett to communicate her thoughts directly from her mind to a computer monitor at a record-breaking 62 words per minute - three times faster than the current technological limit.
The results have been celebrated by neuroscientists worldwide, and Bennet herself shared her thoughts via a written statement. ‘These initial results have proven the concept, and eventually technology will catch up to make it easily accessible to people who cannot speak,’ said Bennett. ‘For those who are nonverbal, this means they can stay connected to the bigger world. Perhaps continue to work, maintain friends and family relationships.’
