‘Neuroprosthesis for decoding speech in a paralyzed person with anarthria’ with David Moses and Jessie Liu
Description
In this episode, I talk with David Moses and Jessie Liu about their recent NEJM paper ‘Neuroprosthesis for decoding speech in a paralyzed person with anarthria’, in which they decoded intended utterances from the brain of an individual with anarthria using an electrode array implanted of sensorimotor cortex and machine learning.
