Neuralink Patient Terry Helps Fine-Tune Brain-to-Voice Interface in VOICE Trial

On Sept. 19, Neuralink shared an update on its VOICE trial, in which patient Terry is using his implanted Neuralink device to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who cannot speak. The interface is powered by Grok Voice.

According to the company, Terry first trained the algorithm by miming speech as best he could, then by thinking the words and hearing them output in his own natural voice. The approach is intended to offer a new way for people who have lost the ability to speak due to illness or injury.
