Brain implant restores real-time communication for ALS patient in US

A US woman with motor neuron disease (ALS) uses an investigational brain-computer interface to select words and answer open-ended questions in real time, enabling text-based conversation and a synthesized voice. The device appears to outperform prior BCI systems in speed and accuracy, though the report lacks clinical trial details and independent verification. This marks a notable step in assistive neurotechnology, with implications for future commercial availability.
