For people who cannot communicate due to severe paralysis or involuntary movements, technology that decodes intended speech from the brain may offer an alternative means of communication.
We present a novel approach to the problem of silent speech via an intracortical microelectrode brain computer interface (BCI) to predict intended speech information directly from the activity of neurons involved in speech production.
The paper found that "it may be possible to readout intended speech directly from brain activity" and that the research is "huge for patients who have damage to their speech mechanisms because of a stroke or Lou Gehrig's disease and can't speak," said study co-author Robert Knight, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the university.
When the acoustic stimulus matches the intended speech signal, the model predicts that the resulting evoked brain activity will be 'cancelled', or suppressed.
Motor cortical neurons are themselves activated by neurons in adjoining premotor cortex that are responsible for planning the speech movements needed to produce the currently intended speech utterance.
According to an established neurocomputational model of speech motor control [20], [21], neurons in the implanted region of left ventral premotor cortex represent intended speech sounds in terms of formant frequency trajectories, and projections from these neurons to primary motor cortex transform the intended formant trajectories into motor commands to the speech articulators.

Values of room acoustics parameters such as EDT, C50, G, Glate, STI and U50 are useful indicators of the quality of conditions for speech in rooms intended for speech communication.
If the president intended his speech before his departure this week to reassure, it had the opposite effect.
The study focuses on the description of the acoustic characteristics of Romanesque churches with a matroneum from the 10th up to the 12th century and compares the results of measurements taken from different positions intended for speech recitation.
In this section, we will consider two codecs: the GSMb[34], which is intended for speech and allows to test the effect of a deep modification of the signal; the MP3c[35], since it includes natively a stereo mode (unlike GSM) and is more appropriate for the future extention of this work to music signals.
He intended the speech as a keynote to his plans for a second term.
