Brain Wave Vocal Synthesis
As reported by [gizmodo]:
A team of scientists has been able to translate brainwaves directly from the audiotory cortex of the brain and translate them into speech. To do this they selected a number of epilepsy patients undergoing brain surgery, and invasively inserted electodes directly into their auditory cortex, they then had them listen to people count from zero to nine and recorded their subjects EEG readings, then used the resulting data to train a Deep Neural Network to translate them into speech. The hope is that they will one day be able to create vocal prosthetics for those who are no longer able to speak by being able to translate brainwave output directly into sound, as opposed to stringing together pre-recorded sounds as some Voice Synths do.
You can listen to the reconstructed brainwave audio [here].
