Speaking is a unique and defining human behavior. Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in deciphering the basic neural code that underlies our ability to speak fluently. During speech production, vocal tract movement gestures for all speech sounds are encoded by highly specialized neural activity, organized as a map, in the human motor and premotor cortices. A major effort is now underway to translate these discoveries towards developing an articulatory-based speech neuroprosthetic device for people who cannot communicate.
