Science decodes 'internal voices'
Researchers have demonstrated a striking method to reconstruct words, based on the brain waves of patients thinking of those words.
The technique reported in PLoS Biology relies on gathering electrical signals directly from patients' brains.
Based on signals from listening patients, a computer model was used to reconstruct the sounds of words that patients were thinking of.
The method may in future help comatose and locked-in patients communicate.

Scientists convert human brainwaves into speech
Scientists have unveiled a new technique for decoding human brainwaves and then converting them into speech.
The technique may one day make it possible to communicate with patients who are unable to talk.
