Thought-to-Text using Generative AI
About the Project
This project explores the development of cutting-edge thought-to-text systems within the realm of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. The primary objective is to enable the real-time decoding of neural signals into coherent textual outputs by integrating advanced hardware, software, and neuroscience insights. The research focuses on non-invasive neural recording technologies, such as electroencephalography (EEG), to ensure the system is accessible and safe for broad applications. By employing sophisticated signal processing techniques and machine learning models, the project aims to identify and interpret neural patterns associated with thought formation and translate these into meaningful text with high accuracy and speed.
Additionally, this project addresses challenges in noise reduction, individual variability in brain signal patterns, and user adaptability to enhance system robustness. It also investigates personalized calibration methods and adaptive algorithms to improve performance across diverse user populations. The expected outcomes include an innovative framework for thought-to-text conversion, validated through rigorous testing with real-world use cases, particularly for individuals with severe speech or motor impairments.
This work contributes to the broader field of neurotechnology by not only advancing assistive communication tools but also establishing foundational methods for future brain-to-digital interface applications, such as hands-free control systems, cognitive monitoring, and immersive human-computer interaction.
