Towards a Clinically Viable Speech Neuroprosthesis | 2025 Stanford 6th Annual Neuromuscular

Dr. Willett presented groundbreaking research on restoring communication through a speech neuroprosthesis at the Prominent Neuroprosthesis Translational Laboratory. He discussed the clinical need for advanced communication methods for locked-in patients. Dr. Willett explained their work with intracortical brain-computer interfaces that record single neuron activity from the cortex. The team achieved significant progress in developing a speech neuroprosthesis that enabled an ALS patient to communicate at 60 words per minute with less than 1% word error rate. The research demonstrated that neural representations of speech are preserved even in non-speaking patients, and the system showed potential for further improvement with additional electrodes and advanced algorithms. The presentation concluded with promising results from UC Davis collaborators, where the system is now used for 8+ hours daily by the participant, restoring natural conversation capabilities.
