What We’ve Got Here Is Failure To Communicate

Welcome back to Neurotech Pub!

In this episode, host and Paradromics CEO, Matt Angle, speaks with Beata Jarosiewicz, Vikash Gilja, Sergey Stavisky, and Frank Willett about how brain computer interfaces can be used to restore communication in patients with tetraplegia. They take a deep dive into state of the art thought-to-text technology compared with the current state of speech decoding.
