Speech brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can restore communication by decoding what someone is trying to say directly from their brain activity. Once deciphered, the person''s intended message can be spoken for them or typed as text on a computer. We recently showed that a speech BCI can decode speech at 62 words per minute with a 23% word error rate, demonstrating the potential of a high-performance speech BCI. Nevertheless, word error rates are not yet low enough for fluent communication. The goal of this competition is to foster the development of new and improved algorithms for decoding speech from the brain. Improved accuracies will make it more likely that a speech BCI can be clinically translated, improving the lives of those with paralysis.

Speech brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can restore communication by decoding what someone is trying to say directly from their brain activity. Once deciphered, the person''s intended message can be spoken for them or typed as text on a computer. We recently showed that a speech BCI can decode speech at 62 words per minute with a 23% word error rate, demonstrating the potential of a high-performance speech BCI. Nevertheless, word error rates are not yet low enough for fluent communication.
