The implant includes 128 electrodes that interact with the left hemisphere of the brain and allow the decoding of neural activity associated with the desired speech. The experiment showed that the device is capable of working with two languages equally well, thanks to the common characteristics of Spanish and English. As a result, the man was able to communicate freely, switching between languages of his choice.
