Breakthrough Speech Neuroprosthesis Helps Man with Speech Paralysis
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed a breakthrough in reinstation voice in a paralyzed person. The new technique is called "speech neuroprosthesis" that on trial enabled a man who has speech paralysis to communicate in sentences effectively.
