RESEARCH
We are conducting basic neuroscientific and signal-processing research on imagined speech production and on intended direction. When thinking to oneself silently, one can often hear imagined words in one's head. We use non-invasive brain-imaging techniques like EEG, MEG and fMRI to learn more about how the brain produces imagined speech when one thinks. We process EEG and MEG signals to determine what words a person is thinking and to whom or what location the message should be sent. More...

MURI
The U.S. Department of Defense's MURI program funds research with military and commercial applications. Potential applications of the basic work funded here include the development of a silent communications system for dispersed ground forces, of a language-based means of communication for individuals who are unable to speak aloud, and of commercial communications devices based on brain-wave decoding.
