Researchers are developing new artificial intelligence systems that can interpret brain signals, with potential applications for people with disability.
This technology, known as a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), is designed to help individuals with limited mobility communicate and interact with digital devices. In some cases, it can assist with tasks such as generating speech, writing text, or controlling a computer by analysing patterns of brain activity.
While still in development, early results have shown promising levels of accuracy in controlled settings. One recent system reported accuracy rates of around 90%, although performance can vary depending on the user and the task being performed.
Experts say the technology could improve independence for people who are unable to use traditional input methods, such as keyboards or touchscreens. However, most current systems are still experimental and require further testing before they can be widely used.
