Meta's Brain2Qwerty Decodes Typed Sentences From Brain Scans at 61% Word Accuracy
The non-invasive system reads magnetoencephalography signals but still requires an immobile scanner in a shielded room and only works after a full sentence is typed.
Meta's Brain2Qwerty decodes typed sentences from non-invasive brain recordings, and its second version reaches an average 61% word accuracy from magnetoencephalography (MEG), up from roughly 8% for prior non-invasive approaches, MarkTechPos…
