@SergeyStavisky @jeffreyleefunk @Matt_R_Angle @seeingwithsound @BrainGateTeam @DrDavidBrandman @WillettNeuro @djseo @vikash_gilja @BlackrockNeuro_ Also, important to recognize that these advances occurred as part of academic research programs... it's the foundational work that the nascent BCI industry is emerging from.

@SergeyStavisky @Matt_R_Angle @jeffreyleefunk @seeingwithsound @BrainGateTeam @DrDavidBrandman @WillettNeuro @djseo @vikash_gilja @BlackrockNeuro_ The last couple of decades were driven by emerging neuroscience and advances in machine learning... but BCI has been data impoverished. That data bottleneck is about to be widened. I'm bullish on the formation of a virtuous cycle!

@SergeyStavisky @Matt_R_Angle @jeffreyleefunk @seeingwithsound @BrainGateTeam @DrDavidBrandman @WillettNeuro @djseo @vikash_gilja 100% agreed with @SergeyStavisky. These advances were demonstrated with an implant developed in the early 90s by @BlackrockNeuro_. That tech was enabling, but hasn't seen a redesign. We're about to witness what new tech, building on 30+ years of science and engineering can do...

Speech restoration is not a niche application.

It solves a critical, unmet medical need with faster communication than other motor BCIs, while its core tech advances other BCI development.

Decoding speech will be a building block of human-AI integration. Speech BCI is a more natural and intuitive form of input to LLM models like @grok and @ChatGPTapp than non-speech BCI.

@grok and @ChatGPTapp what do you think?
