moments like this mean so much to us
kenneth is
@neuralink's 21th patient. we were inspired by his story and covered it on the stream: kenneth lost his ability to speak 4+ years ago due to als. neuralink engineers spent 72 hours at his home, now he can answer his own phone calls
this is part of neuralink's voice trial, re: whether a brain implant can turn attempted speech into a synthesized voice. 30 versions of this app were tested in 3 days
after integrating bloom with iphone calling, bci-generated speech is now injected directly into call's microphone giving the person on the other end clear audio. this is essentially a hackathon translating thought to speech
lots of respect from the team to kenneth and family on opening up their home, giving feedback, and allowing everyday folks like us to be able to learn what's possible at the frontier. we hope to cover more stories like this on
