Imaginez passer 18 ans sans pouvoir prononcer un mot. C'est ce qu'a vécu une patiente après un grave AVC. Quadriplégique et atteinte d'aphasie sévère, elle conservait pourtant une volonté intacte de s'exprimer. Mais son corps, lui, ne répondait plus. À San Francisco, une équipe menée par le neurochirurgien Edward Chang vient de faire un pas spectaculaire : lui redonner une voix, par la seule force de son cerveau… et d'une machine.Le principe ? Une neuroprothèse vocale, un type d'interface cerveau-machine. Concrètement, des électrodes implantées dans son cortex moteur — la zone qui commande les muscles de la parole — captent les signaux électriques lorsque la patiente « pense » à parler. Ces données sont ensuite traduites, en temps réel, par une intelligence artificielle. Une première IA les convertit en texte, une seconde les transforme en son. Et ce que la bouche ne peut plus articuler, la machine le fait entendre, avec un décalage d'à peine une seconde. Le processus est encore lent — 47 mots par minute — mais bien plus rapide qu'il y a un an, où il fallait attendre huit secondes par mot. Pour que le système apprenne à décoder ses intentions, la patiente s'est entraînée pendant des semaines à « dire » mentalement des phrases tirées d'un lexique de 1 024 mots. Chaque signal est analysé toutes les 80 millisecondes, phonème par phonème, puis recomposé en phrase.Le résultat ? Une voix synthétique, certes, mais une voix. Une voix sans chaleur, sans inflexion, mais qui brise le silence. Le système ne lit pas les pensées, ni les émotions. Il capte uniquement ce moment précis où l'esprit tente de parler. Pour Sergey Stavisky, spécialiste des neuroprothèses, ce n'est que le début. Demain, ces technologies pourraient reproduire le timbre, le rythme, voire permettre de chanter. Déjà, des start-up comme Precision Neuroscience planchent sur des capteurs plus fins, plus durables, capables de rester dans le cerveau à long terme. Hébergé par Acast.

Depuis deux ans, l'intelligence artificielle transforme notre quotidien, mais une révolution plus discrète prend forme dans les laboratoires de neurosciences. Des équipes de chercheurs aux États-Unis explorent les mystères de notre cerveau, décodant peu à peu les schémas neuronaux complexes de nos pensées, de nos paroles et de nos intentions. Ce qui relevait hier de la science-fiction devient peu à peu une réalité, avec des applications prometteuses, notamment pour les personnes privées de parole.À l'Université du Texas à Austin, Alexander Huth et son équipe ont mis au point une technologie non invasive utilisant l'imagerie par résonance magnétique fonctionnelle, couplée à un "décodeur sémantique" basé sur l'IA. Le processus consiste à modéliser le cerveau d'une personne, puis à traduire de nouvelles données cérébrales en une suite de mots représentant ses pensées. Une première expérience a même permis de retranscrire de façon impressionnante l'essence de phrases écoutées par un participant.De son côté, à San Francisco, Edward Chang a pris une autre voie. Son équipe utilise des électrodes implantées pour analyser les signaux neuronaux liés à la parole, une technologie moins invasive que celle de Neuralink. Avec cette approche, des patients souffrant de paralysie ou de troubles moteurs graves pourraient à terme formuler des phrases visibles à l'écran, voire les exprimer via des avatars numériques en utilisant des expressions faciales. Mais ces progrès ne sont pas sans poser des questions éthiques. En effet, des géants de la tech comme Apple s'intéressent déjà à ces technologies, proposant des dispositifs pour suivre nos ondes cérébrales en temps réel. Or, Rafael Yuste, de la Fondation Neurorights, alerte : les données cérébrales sont souvent exploitées sans aucune protection pour l'utilisateur. Face à ces enjeux, plusieurs pays, dont le Chili, le Brésil et récemment le Colorado, ont adopté des lois pour garantir la confidentialité neuronale. Hébergé par Acast.

Researchers in the lab of Edward Chang, MD, at UCSF recorded activity from hundreds of individual neurons across all layers of the cortex while participants listened to spoken sentences. In a study published in Nature on December 13, 2023, the researchers showed that neurons responded to different speech sounds like parts of consonants and vowels, or the pitch of the voice. This work provides the most detailed picture yet of how the human brain processes speech. Series: "UC San Francisco News" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40240]

Tom Oxley is building what he calls a “natural highway into the brain” that lets people use their minds to control their phones and their computers. The device, called the Stentrode, could improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people living with spinal cord paralysis, ALS and other neuro degenerative diseases.Leaps.org talked with Dr. Oxley for today's podcast. A fascinating thing about the Stentrode is that it works very differently from other “brain computer interfaces” you may be familiar with, like Elon Musk's Neuralink. Surgeons implant the some BCIs directly into a person's brain, but the Stentrode is much less invasive. Dr. Oxley's company Synchron opts for an ingenious “natural” approach, using stents in blood vessels to access the brain, with some major advantages for a handful of people who've already started using the Stentrode.  The audio improves about 10 minutes in. There was a minor headset issue early on but everything is audible throughout. In our conversation, Dr. Oxley talks about what it means to have a “Bluetooth brain,” the critical role played by AI in the present and future of BCIs, how BCIs compare to voice command technology, regulatory frameworks for revolutionary technologies, specific people with paralysis who've been able to regain some of their independence thanks to the Stentrode, what it means to be a neurointerventionist, how to scale BCIs so that more people can use them, the risks of BCIs malfunctioning, organic implants, and how BCIs help us understand the brain, among other topics. Dr. Oxley received his PhD in neuro engineering from the University of Melbourne in Australia. He is the founding CEO of Synchron and an associate professor and head of the vascular bionics laboratory at the University of Melbourne. He's also a clinical instructor in the Deepartment of Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai Hospital. He's completed more than 1,600 endovascular neurosurgical procedures on patients, including those with aneurysms and strokes, and has authored over 100 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Oxley's work opens up game-changing opportunities for many patients, and his views on the present and future of BCIs are must listening for anyone who cares about health and technology.  Links:Synchron - https://synchron.com/ Tom Oxley social links https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomoxlhttps://twitter.com/tomoxl?lang=en Tom Oxley TED talk and website  https://www.ted.com/talks/tom_oxley_a_brain_implant_that_turns_your_thoughts_into_text?language=en https://tomoxl.com/ Novel brain implant helps paralyzed woman speak using digital avatar - https://engineering.berkeley.edu/news/2023/08/novel-brain-implant-helps-paralyzed-woman-speak-using-a-digital-avatar/ Edward Chang lab - https://changlab.ucsf.edu/ BCIs convert brain activity into text at 62 words per minute - https://med.stanford.edu/neurosurgery/news/2023/henderson-brain-implant-speech-alsLeaps.org is a not-for-profit initiative that publishes award-winning journalism, popularizes scientific progress on social media, and hosts events about bioethics and the future of humanity.

Overview In this episode, Dr. David Moses discusses his research in speech neuroprosthetics. He delves into his research paper on Neuroprosthesis for Decoding Speech in a Paralyzed Person with Anarthria, highlighting the challenges faced during the study and the deep learning models utilized. Dr. Moses also discusses the potential for further improvements with additional data and whether similar studies have been conducted without the use of implants. The conversation then shifts to the ethics of brain-computer interfaces (BCI), with Dr. Moses sharing his thoughts on concerns surrounding BCIs, ways to encourage more individuals to participate in ethics conversations, and a potential timeline for BCIs entering the market. Finally, Dr. Moses discusses industry opportunities outside of academia and offers advice on how to get started in the field. About Dr. David Moses  Dr. David Moses received a BS in Bioengineering from Rice University and then a PhD in Bioengineering from a joint program between UCSF and UC Berkeley. During his PhD in Dr. Edward Chang's lab at UCSF, he studied how perceived and produced speech is encoded in the human cortex using electrocorticography (an invasive brain-recording methodology involving electrical sensors placed directly on the brain surface), and he developed a system to decode both kinds of speech from the cortical activity of volunteer participants. After graduating, he remained in Dr. Chang's lab as a postdoctoral scholar to manage and coordinate projects on a new early-feasibility clinical trial at UCSF to evaluate the potential of electrocorticography and machine learning to restore speech to patients with severe paralysis. After successful proof-of-concept demonstrations, he continues to work towards the development of a clinical implementation to enhance the communicative capabilities of those who are unable to speak.

On our December show, we talked about ethical issues surrounding brain-computer interfaces. We'll pick up the topic again this month with a discussion about one type of brain-computer interface: neuroprosthetics. Our guest is Dr. Edward Chang, Professor and Chair of Neurological Surgery at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Chang is an expert in brain mapping during neurosurgery, with the aim of preserving the brain areas responsible for language, speech, movement and emotion. His research focuses on neuro-prosthetics that can restore movement in people who are paralyzed and speech in people with speech disorders. As we'll talk about today, this research raises interesting ideas about the neural representation of speech and language and the ethics surrounding brain-computer interfaces. Dr. Chang was interviewed by ANA Producer Dr. Amanda Jagolino-Cole of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Series 4, Episode 4.

Since March 2020, seniors have quickly grown comfortable shopping online. They have learned how to connect with family, church, and community via web calls. And they now research retirement products like never before. However, how to keep their confidence on the web? Yes, we need to be vigilant to protect their accounts through cyber security. How can we help seniors become even more digitally- savvy and protect their accounts from cyber criminals?

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, created a device that can convert brain signals into speech. To develop the device, the researchers worked with patients who were about to undergo brain surgery. The device was implanted into the surface of the patients' brains where it collected brain signals that control the movements of the lips, tongue, jaw, and voice box while speaking. It then transmitted those signals to a computer that transformed brain activity into synthesized speech. Lead researcher Edward Chang believes that the device serves as a ray of light for people who have lost the ability to speak because of stroke or other conditions. To check how intelligible the device is, the researchers recruited native English speakers to listen to and transcribe the electronically-generated speech. The device accurately synthesized “sh” and “z” sounds but struggled with “b” and “p.” Nonetheless, the volunteers understood about 70% of the words they heard. The device can translate 150 words per minute when properly set up. This means that it works much faster than other speech synthesizers, which can produce only up to eight words per minute. Despite the positive results, the device will not be available for widespread use in the near future. The researchers will still do clinical trials to improve it. For the next step, they are planning to test the device on people who cannot talk at all and whose brains were not trained to speak. However, since implanting the device requires invasive surgery, they might find it challenging to get the right patients.

Edward Chang keeps a cybernetic implant at his desk, which seems almost calculatedly cool. Chang is a lean, low-voiced neurosurgeon at UC San Francisco. The cybernetic implant—more properly a Brain-Computer Interface—is a floppy, translucent plastic square about the size of my hand, embedded with a 16-by-16 array of titanium dots, each about the size of a cupcake sprinkle. This part sits on top of a brain.

“Brain Meets Word: The Neuroscience Behind Communication” Tongues, songbirds and perfect fifths, oh my! Seemingly disparate subjects yes, but remarkably similar nonetheless. In this episode, we investigate some of the far corners of the neuroscience behind communication! We start with a simple question: how does the human brain coordinate all of the muscles that allow us to speak? In part 2, we learn how male songbirds perfect their mating calls and how all the single birds respond. And finally, a neuroscientist/professional opera-singer tells us about the mystery of musicality, and the science behind becoming a great musician. Part One: “On the Tip of My Tongue” The human brain precisely controls numerous muscles when we speak, but scientists know very little about how exactly this happens... Our producers Ryan Jones and Kate Woronowicz talk with David Conant, a doctoral student in Dr. Edward Chang’s lab at the University of California - San Francisco, about how patients with epilepsy are helping us unravel this great mystery. Part Two: “A Bird Song to Remember” Spring is in the air and with it, a cacophony of bird songs. But these birds aren’t born knowing how to sing. It’s only after the brain goes through complex chemical dances that these males can attract their perfect mates. Listen to Peter Chisnell talk with Dr. Gregory Ball, neuroscientist at the University of Maryland, about how hormones refine male bird songs and in turn, how these songs change birds’ brains. Part Three: “The Sound of Music(ality)” Practice makes perfect, but is that all it takes to become a great musician? Lynn Wang talks to Dr. Indre Viskontas, neuroscientist and professional musician, about her research studying how musicality works. At the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Indre teaches “Training the Musical Brain,” a class where students learn how to practice basic music perceptual skills. In addition, she’s interested in understanding how elements such as emotion and expression make us better musicians.

This CARTA symposium addresses the question of how human language came to have the kind of structure it has today, focusing on three sources of evidence. One source, which is discussed in these three talks, concerns neuroscientific investigations of functional specialization for language in the human brain and its dependence on the linguistic input the language learner gets during cognitive development. Evelina Fedorenko (Massachusetts General Hospital) begins with an examination of Specialization for Language in the Human Brain, followed by Rachel Mayberry (UC San Diego) on How the Environment Shapes Language in the Brain, and Edward Chang (UC San Francisco) on Neuroscience of Speech Perception and Speech Production.

Edward Chang of UC San Francisco is interested in determining the basic mechanisms that underlie our ability to perceive and produce speech. While much of this processing has been localized to the peri-sylvian cortex, including Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas, the fundamental organizational principles of the neural circuits within these areas are completely unknown. To address this, his laboratory applies a variety of experimental approaches to examine both local circuitry and global network dynamics spanning multiple cortical and sub-cortical regions with unparalleled spatial and temporal resolution in humans.
