A successful experiment with a mind-reading machine

American experts successfully experiment with extracting words from the brain of a paralyzed person. And communicating these words to other people on a computerized device. Which is designed to give language to speech-impaired people. A neuroprosthetic device helps to speak whole words by translating brain waves.

American experts have tested a machine called ‘neuroprosthetic device’ on a paralyzed person and the results are encouraging. Experts hope that the device can play an important role in the future.

According to the news agency “Agence France Presse” (AFP), researchers from the University of California tests the “neuroprosthetic device” on a paralyzed person who was unable to speak, understand and read.

According to experts, during the experiment, when a ‘neuroprosthetic device’ attached to the mind of a paralyzed person, the device translated 1150 words that came to the mind of that person.

The device detects that the paralyzed person first spoken the phrase ‘everything is possible.’ After which the device translates more words.

How neuroprosthetic device works?

The study reports that the ‘neuroprosthetic device’ is able to translate 26 words of the paralyzed person. But one difficulty is that if a person utters the English word ‘cat’, the computer will say ‘Charlie Alpha Tango’ instead of cat. As the device makes the first English word that comes to the paralyzed person’s mind a catch.

It should note that a ‘neuroprosthetic device’ is a computerized machine. In which artificial intelligence is used and this machine is connected to the human brain system.

This machine captures or reads the thoughts or words that come to the mind of the paralyzed person. When the person is thinking of saying those words.

The machine captures or reads words or thoughts and converts them into alphabets. Machine does this with the help of artificial intelligence. Then displays them on the screen or reads them out in the form of audio.

The machine is similar to the machine used by the British scientist Stephen Hawking who used his thoughts and words through a computer device.
