AI-Powered Brain-Computer Interface Helps Non-Verbal ALS Patient Return to Full-Time Work
Researchers at UC Davis have achieved a major breakthrough using an implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) combined with AI to restore communication for Casey Harrell, an ALS patient who lost the ability to speak. The system converts neural signals into sentences with 99% accuracy in controlled testing and 92% in daily use. Since 2023, Harrell has been using the system independently at home to communicate, operate a computer, and return to full-time employment.
