US researchers have used brain scanners and AI to at least roughly record certain types of thoughts in willing test subjects.

The team hopes that this brain-computer interface, which does not require surgery, could one day help people who have lost their ability to speak, for example as a result of a stroke. However, experts in the field remain sceptical. The stu…
