AI Brain Decoder Moves Closer to Real-World Use for People With Aphasia

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

](/news/2025/ai-brain-decoder-moves-closer-real-world-use-people-aphasia)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UT Austin researchers have improved their AI-powered brain decoder, allowing it to translate thoughts into continuous text with just one hour of training—far less than the original 16-hour process. This advancement makes the technology more accessible, particularly for individuals with aphasia, by enabling communication without requiring spoken language comprehension.
