"Our new pre-print is out today! We demonstrate a brain-computer interface that turns speech-related neural activity into text, enabling a person with paralysis to communicate at 62 words per minute - 3.4 times faster than prior work "

Pretty exciting stuff. This is progressing much quicker than I thought it would. Maybe sticking a bunch of wires in someone's brain works well after all.

Imagine being able to speak in any language like a native speaker. If the process is not too invasive, I might consider it.

Or you could learn a language?

Store bought knowledge is fine too.

I wonder if BCIs will ever be able to cure speech impediments and stutters. I would imagine Elon Musk would like that very much

I think this would require more than BCI. Unless you just have the BCI picking up speech signals from the person's brain, and transferring them into text to speech data through a synthetic voice.
