MoDAl: Self-Supervised Neural Modality Discovery via Decorrelation for Speech Neuroprosthesis

ArXi:2605.00025v1 Announce Type: cross Speech neuroprosthesis systems decode intended speech from neural activity in the absence of audible output, offering a path to restoring communication for individuals with speech-impairing conditions. Current approaches decode predominantly from motor cortical areas, discarding others -- such as area 44, part of Broca's area -- that may encode complementary linguistic information. We
