Science can read human thoughts with black and white paper

A project is putting ambition to translate human thinking into writing.

Science can read human thoughts

Current technological advancements have helped recreate the video through human thinking or thinking to control a car. And most recently, research has helped convert brain signals into text.

Signals from the human brain can be translated back into text.

Frontiers in Neuroscience recently conducted a study when attaching electrodes to the brains of some patients and began giving them a large reading of some texts to record signals emitted from the brain. Then, the algorithms programmed on the computer will convert the received signals into text (text) and are 75% accurate compared to the initial reading sounds of the test participants. Scientists also said they did not need a 100% accurate rate of re-creation from the beginning because then there were algorithms that operated with the same mechanism as the " autocorrect " feature on some software that helped complete this text.

Peter Brunner, one of the co-authors of the study, said: " Virtual assistants like Siri now have an accuracy of not more than 70% because it works on sound acquisition and analysis to attend. Guess your potential choices and sayings you use ". Meanwhile, the group's research is going in a different direction, their goal is to acquire signals from the patients' brains and recreate them into text. However, this is not easy because the received signals are only in "fuzzy " form, just like if you fly high on a stadium, you can see many spectators but will not visualize the face. specific to any of them because of the distance.

The technology is tested in treating epilepsy patients when electrodes are placed on patients' brains in multiple locations to receive signals and to predict what patients want to express themselves.

However, since every human brain is unique and nerve signals can only be obtained directly from their brains, this method is only applied separately to each patient but is difficult to create a device. Transliteration for everyone.

However, scientists believe that this technology has the potential to treat neurological diseases such as ALS, which cause loss of mobility and talking. Instead of using an external device like Steven Hawking to pick out words on a computer screen, now through recording brain signals, the computer will arrange and present that person's thoughts straight away.
