An end-to-end speech neuroprosthesis
Our fully implantable system captures brain activity and decodes it into natural speech in real time.
From brain signals to speech
A seamless pipeline that captures neural intent and decodes it into audible speech — all in real time.
Neural Capture
High-density ECoG electrodes on the cortical surface record speech-related neural activity with exceptional fidelity.
Signal Processing
The Implant on-device electronics amplify, filter, and digitize raw signals. An optical data link wirelessly transmits them through the skin.
Neural Decoding
Advanced AI algorithms running on an external processor decode neural patterns associated with intended speech in real time.
Communication Output
Decoded intentions are synthesized into natural speech or commands — restoring the patient's ability to communicate.
Powered by AI
At the heart of ABILITY lies a neural decoding engine built on cutting-edge artificial intelligence — designed to learn, adapt, and decode in real time.
Deep Learning Models
We train deep neural networks on high-dimensional ECoG data to learn the complex mapping between cortical activity patterns and intended speech. Our models capture the rich temporal dynamics of language production at millisecond resolution.
Real-Time Inference
Our decoding pipeline is engineered for ultra-low latency. Neural signals are processed, decoded, and converted to speech output in real time — enabling natural, conversational communication without perceptible delay.
Adaptive & Personalised
Every brain is unique. Our models continuously adapt to each patient's neural patterns over time, improving accuracy and vocabulary as the system learns from daily use — delivering a truly personalised communication experience.
By combining state-of-the-art deep learning architectures with edge-optimised inference, ABILITY brings the power of modern AI to the point of care — transforming raw brain signals into meaningful communication, one word at a time.
Four components, one platform
The Implant
A fully implantable device housing ECoG electrodes, signal processing electronics, and an optical transmitter. Sits beneath the skull with no external hardware.
The Headpiece
A wearable external unit that receives optical data through the skin and relays it to the processor. Magnetically coupled for easy alignment.
The Processor
A portable external unit running real-time neural decoding algorithms and speech synthesis. Designed to be worn or carried throughout the day.
The App
A mobile application that serves as the patient's primary interface to the world — much like a smartphone for an able-bodied person. It enables speech output, text messaging, device control, and daily communication, putting the power of expression directly in the user's hands.
