Let me guess…
- not very accurate
- needs to be trained on an individuals brain.
Although DeWave only achieved just over 40 percent accuracy based on one of two sets of metrics in experiments conducted by Lin and colleagues, this is a 3 percent improvement on the prior standard for thought translation from EEG recordings.
The Australian researchers who developed the technology, called DeWave, tested the process using data from more than two dozen subjects. Participants read silently while wearing a cap that recorded their brain waves via electroencephalogram (EEG) and decoded them into text.
Yep.

Was the AI trained on the text that the people were reading?
I’m not sure if this was your intent, but your comment gave me a good giggle as I recalled this article: An AI bot performed insider trading and deceived its users after deciding helping a company was worth the risk.
Not to personify an LLM, but in my (fantastical) imagining, the AI knew the desired outcome, and that complete success was unbelievable. So it fudged things to be 3% improved.
Yikes. Now that I’m overthinking it - that idea is only funny because it’s currently improbable.
… I hope people pleasing is never a consideration for any ‘AI’ that does scientific, engineering, or economic work.
their goal is 90%. I could see it if the ai was given a long enough time with feedback on what you are doing. Which I think would be tough with stroke patients. Great for folks that would like to control a pc with thoughts but not get cut open though.

Wonder how it interacts with neurodivergent people too :p
We really do have to get through the Black Mirror sci-fi before we can have the Star Trek stuff, huh.
Lots of scary shit will have to be banned. I’m always surprised when I watch a new Star Trek episode and they describe some new terrifying technology that is outlawed.
Nutrek is so grim. Where’s the optimism?

I just used this comment commercially.
anyone remember the movie Strange Days? Or the movie Brainstorm?
“No, doc, I came here in a time machine, that you built!”
