Researchers from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne have created a miniature brain-computer interface that can convert neural activity into text with high accuracy. The new MiBMI device consists of two chips with a total area of only 8 mm², making it significantly more compact than Elon Musk's Neuralink.
MiBMI is minimally invasive, low power consumption, and can process data in real time. Unlike Neuralink, the Swiss development works as a fully integrated system, without requiring external devices to process signals.
Although the chip has not yet been tested on humans, when analyzing neural activity records, it showed 91% accuracy in converting brain signals into text. The system is capable of recognizing 31 different symbols. Scientists have discovered specific neural markers that arise when each letter is mentally represented. These "distinctive neural codes" (DNC) made it possible to significantly reduce the amount of data to be processed, which made it possible to create such a compact device.
Interesting! We are waiting for human tests.
