Meet Ann, a stroke survivor paralyzed since 2005, who has found a voice again.

Through an AI brain implant developed by @ucsfneurosurgery and Chang Lab, she can express some words and sentences using synthesized speech and a digital avatar.

Tiny electrodes implanted on the brain's surface decode signals linked to Ann's speech attempts. Using custom-built algorithms, the system recognizes phonemes, the building blocks of speech, enabling Ann to form words and sentences.
