Key Info

In Neuralink’s VOICE trial, participant Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for people who cannot speak. He first trained the algorithm by miming speech as best he could, then by thinking the words and hearing them spoken in his own natural voice.

Highlights

  • Neuralink’s VOICE trial applies the implant to speech-restoring technology.
  • Terry helped train the algorithm by miming speech before switching to thought-based input.
  • The goal is to let Terry and other non-speaking people communicate in their own natural voice.
