Meta's Brain2Qwerty v2 Decodes Typed Sentences From Brain Signals at 61 Percent Word Accuracy
The non-invasive system reads magnetoencephalography rather than implants, closing part of the gap with surgical interfaces while still requiring a room-scale scanner.
Meta's Brain2Qwerty v2 decodes sentences that a person types from memory by reading brain activity, and does so without surgery. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), the system reaches an average character error rate of 29 percent and an ave…
