Description

"For the first time, scientists at UC San Francisco translated a person's attempts at speaking to text on screen." Postdoctoral engineer David Moses emphasizes that it is not the same as mind reading. The research was originally funded by Facebook, although Facebook has claimed that they "have no interest in developing products that require implanted electrodes".
