"An ALS Patient Set a Record for Communicating via a Brain Implant: 62 Words per Minute"


Eight years ago, a patient lost her power of speech because of ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which causes progressive paralysis. . . .Now, after volunteering to receive a brain implant, the woman has been able to rapidly communicate phrases like "I don’t own my home" and "It’s just tough" at a rate approaching normal speech. . . .Philip Sabes, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the project, called the results a "big breakthrough" and said that experimental brain-reading technology could be ready to leave the lab and become a useful product soon.
