The recognition of spoken language has typically been studied by focusing on either words
or their constituent elements (for example, low-level features or phonemes). More recently …

Damage or degeneration of motor pathways necessary for speech and other movements, as
in brainstem strokes or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), can interfere with efficient …

Technology that translates neural activity into speech would be transformative for people
who are unable to communicate as a result of neurological impairments. Decoding speech …

Speech is a complex process involving a wide range of biosignals, including but not limited
to acoustics. These biosignals-stemming from the articulators, the articulator muscle …

This review summarises the status of silent speech interface (SSI) research. SSIs rely on non-
acoustic biosignals generated by the human body during speech production to enable …

In the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in developing systems for
Automatic Lip-Reading (ALR). Similarly to other computer vision applications, methods …

The availability of digital devices operated by voice is expanding rapidly. However, the
applications of voice interfaces are still restricted. For example, speaking in public places …

A brain–computer interface (BCI) is a technology that uses neural features to restore or
augment the capabilities of its user. A BCI for speech would enable communication in real …

Traditional brain–machine interfaces decode cortical motor commands to control external
devices. These commands are the product of higher-level cognitive processes, occurring …

Speech is a critical form of human communication and is central to our daily lives. Yet,
despite decades of study, an understanding of the fundamental neural control of speech …
