[FRIAM] intgegration

[Santafe]

Here’s maybe a fun one.

Parkinsons progresses slowly, also ALS.

I remember being in rooms with Hawking, who sounded like the Wizard of Wor of the same era.

I can imagine, if you get a new generation voice-producer, not wanting your identity to be taken over by one of the stock readers.  But you could just start making inclusive recordings of your own speech, in all different settings, for years in the early phases of the disease, and then have a customized voice-generator trained to perpetuate you after the disease impairs you.

One could almost imagine something akin to autotune, which would take your impaired speech in real-time, and convert it to a broadcast speech stream in the unimpaired style.

Probably 15 companies are already doing this, since it’s kind of obvious.  

That was triggered by the article’s comments on using intracranial generation for people with full speech impairment.

So within one person, we might be able to make reliable predictions. But this idea that "regions of the brain" are activated in the same way, for the same tasks, across all (or most) people is suspect. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
