"This made it difficult for the user to be understood consistently and was a barrier to communication."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"Our objective," Brandman continued, "was to develop a system that empowered someone to be understood whenever they wanted to speak."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>It's not the only brain chip that has helped an ALS patient regain their ability to communicate. Last year, for instance, a 36-year-old German man, who was fully paralyzed by the condition, had a BCI implanted — and immediately asked for a beer when it allowed him to spell out messages.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Also read:\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/google-shopping-image-requirements-for-auto-parts\">Google Shopping Image Requirements For Auto Parts\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/the-main-benefits-of-writing-services-for-non-native-english-speakers\">The Main Benefits of Writing Services for Non-Native English Speakers\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/progressive-web-app-101-the-essential-guide\">Progressive web app 101: the essential guide\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003Cbr />\nJoin us on social media!\u003Cbr />\nSee you! \u003C/p>","groundbreaking-brain-chip-allows-man-with-als-to-speak-again","2024-10-18T20:01:07.000000Z","2024-10-19T03:00:00.000000Z","19.10.2024",{"image":82,"image_webp":83,"thumb":84,"thumb_webp":84},"https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/uKGp5vgKOhz0Mz00Xp0C0js5EUEFv0ObTAWU7K2l.webp",null,"https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/uKGp5vgKOhz0Mz00Xp0C0js5EUEFv0ObTAWU7K2l.webp","small",1544,1,"en",0,{"id":42,"title":43,"slug":44,"meta_title":91,"meta_description":92,"meta_keywords":93,"deleted_at":83,"created_at":94,"updated_at":95,"lang":88},"Technology | AI Breakthroughs and Fresh News | QUASA","All the most interesting and useful about technologies.
