Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created a breakthrough technology for paralyzed people. Using this technology, paralyzed people are able to communicate through a digital avatar using their brain signals and facial expressions.
The technology is particularly beneficial for women who have lost the ability to speak or communicate due to stroke or ALS. These women's conversations often involve subtle expressions of eye movement and word formation. AI has made it possible to transform these expressions into digital avatars.
Recently, UC San Francisco released a video showing this technology in action. In the video, a paralyzed woman speaks and communicates through a digital avatar using her brain signals.
This technology detects electrical activity in the brain using electrodes placed on the brain's skin. The signals received from it are instantly converted into a digital avatar. The digital avatar mimics the speech and facial expressions of a paralyzed person.
47-year-old Ann is a participant in the experiment under this technology. Anne, paralyzed for more than 18 years, is now able to speak and communicate through a digital avatar using her brain signals. She is currently working as a counsellor.
Ann is also committed to helping develop this technology. He joined a team working to further improve the AI algorithm.
This technology can make a big difference in the life of paralyzed people. This will improve their communication skills and help them live more independently.
