Meta’s non-invasive BCI hits 61% word accuracy, lags implants
Meta researchers achieved 61% word accuracy with a non-surgical brain-computer interface, improving on prior work but still requiring users to type. The system cannot yet support real-time communication, and implanted BCIs remain far more accurate. The results highlight the trade-off between invasiveness and performance in neural decoding.
Meridian48 take
The 61% accuracy is a step forward for non-invasive BCIs, but the gap with implanted systems remains vast, and real-time use is still distant.
