Brain Implant Translates Paralyzed Man's Thoughts Into Text With 94% Accuracy
| But during the experiment the man concentrated as if he were writing – effectively, thinking about making the letters with an imaginary pen and paper.
As he did this, electrodes implanted in his motor cortex recorded signals of his brain activity, which were then interpreted by algorithms running on an external computer, decoding T5's imaginary pen trajectories, which mentally traced the 26 letters of the alphabet and some basic punctuation marks.
| The next steps in the research could include training other people to use the interface, expanding the character set to include more symbols (such as capital letters), refining the sensitivity of the system, and adding more sophisticated editing tools for the user.

| I wish have internet call in my head xd
| Here's someone with too much free time on his hands ...
... and in his head.
| What a time to be alive!!
I truly wish we can use a computer-brain interface someday soon.

| The device – part of a longstanding research collaboration called BrainGate – is a brain-computer interface (BCI), that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret signals of neural activity generated during handwriting.
In this case, the man – called T5 in the study, and who was 65 years of age at the time of the research – wasn't doing any actual writing, as his hand, along with all his limbs, had been paralyzed for several years.
