Scientists have found a way to transform brain signals into spoken words and sentences.
The approach could someday help people who have lost the ability to speak or gesture, a team from the University of California, San Francisco reported Wednesday in the journal Nature.
"Finding a way to restore speech is one of the great challenges in neurosciences," says , an assistant professor of engineering at Brown University who wasn't associated
