Decoding brain activity to identify imagined speech

Neuroscientists at University of California, Berkeley have succeeded in decoding electrical activity in the brain’s temporal lobe — the seat of the auditory system — as a person listens to normal conversation. Brain activity was recorded using implanted electrode array.  Based on this correlation between sound and brain activity, they then were able to predict the words the person had heard solely from the temporal lobe activity.
