    Although DeWave only achieved just over 40 percent accuracy based on one of two sets of metrics in experiments conducted by Lin and colleagues, this is a 3 percent improvement on the prior standard for thought translation from EEG recordings.

    The Australian researchers who developed the technology, called DeWave, tested the process using data from more than two dozen subjects. Participants read silently while wearing a cap that recorded their brain waves via electroencephalogram (EEG) and decoded them into text.

    Yep.

      When the number og test subjects is that low, it almost feels like the 3% improvement might as well be a coincidence.

        This is wonderful news, it means it’s good enough to operate my lights with a thought but not good enough to be admissable in court as evidence

      their goal is 90%. I could see it if the ai was given a long enough time with feedback on what you are doing. Which I think would be tough with stroke patients. Great for folks that would like to control a pc with thoughts but not get cut open though.

      Was the AI trained on the text that the people were reading?
