Today, the idea of connecting the human brain to computers is moving closer to becoming a reality thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI).

So far, technologies that allow transforming thoughts into text have often required a brain implant.

Now, scientists at the University of Technology Sydney are using a cap-like device to explore how AI can interpret brain activity.

The AI-powered cap monitors the brainwave patterns of a person wearing it and converts their thoughts into written language.

The team behind the decoder says the system relies on two distinct types of AI to interpret brainwave signals....
