Meta Unveils AI System Converting Brain Activity to Text Without Surgery
Meta has introduced Brain2Qwerty v2, an AI system that decodes brain activity into text in real time without surgical implants, using non-invasive magnetoencephalography (MEG). Trained on data from nine volunteers, it employs deep learning and large language models to interpret raw brain signals with accuracy nearing invasive methods. This technology aims to assist individuals with communication impairments due to brain lesions or neurological conditions, offering a less risky alternative to implant-based interfaces like Neuralink.
