Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Brain implants turn imagined handwriting into text on a screen Electrodes in a paralyzed man’s brain turned his imagined handwriting into words typed on a screen. The translation from brain to text may ultimately point to ways to help people with disabilities like paralysis communicate using just their thoughts. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute New brain implant turns visualized letters into text Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, can restore movement in people with paralysis and may help treat neurological and psychiatric diseases. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Paralysed man uses ‘mindwriting’ brain computer to compose sentences A man who was paralysed from the neck down in an accident more than a decade ago has written sentences using a computer system that turns imagined handwriting into words. Image Press coverage | May 12 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Man who is paralyzed communicates by imagining handwriting A man who is paralyzed was able to type with 95% accuracy by imagining that he was handwriting letters on a sheet of paper, a team reported in the journal Nature.
