Major Breakthrough In Telepathic Human-AI Communication

MindSpeech decodes seamless thoughts into text for the first time

LONDON, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A team of academics and scientists today announced a huge breakthrough in seamless telepathic communication. For the first time, artificial intelligence has been successfully used to decode continuous imagined speech from the brain – opening new horizons in human-AI communication in the form of an AI model called MindSpeech.

MindSpeech has proved for the first time that AI can interpret forms of continuous, imagined speech from the brain.

In a groundbreaking trial run by startup MindPortal in June, researchers have shown that AI can interpret forms of continuous imagined speech directly from the brain without requiring any surgery, paving the way for advancements in how humans will communicate with technology in the future.

Unlike previous efforts, which focused on simple or memorized verbal cues or required invasive surgery, MindSpeech has been engineered to process more complex, free-form thoughts under specific test scenarios completely non-invasively. This represents a huge and important step forward in the technology’s ability to understand and translate human thoughts dynamically and intuitively.

In a pioneering study published in arXiv and ResearchGate and currently undergoing peer review, MindPortal’s researchers used a novel ‘word cloud’ task, prompting participants to imagine sentences based on topics covering over 90 percent of the most frequently used words in the English language. The data was collected using a portable headset [a high-density Functional near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) system], capturing neural activity across the entire head.

Participants generated between 433 to 827 sentences, with an average sentence length of 9.34 words, providing a robust dataset for training the AI model. The innovative approach involved the Llama2 Large Language Model (LLM) for text generation, guided by brain signal-generated embeddings. These embeddings were created by context input text with brain signals, allowing the AI to generate coherent text from imagined speech.

The results showed statistically significant results for three out of four participants, demonstrating the model’s ability to decode continuous imagined speech from thought.

“Our findings are an exciting indication that we’re on the path toward achieving more natural and intuitive ways for machines to understand human thoughts,” said Dr. Suyi Zhang, PhD, AI Research Engineer at MindPortal and lead AI researcher for the study. “While our technology is not yet ready for widespread use and requires further refinement, the results in our study point to a future where this kind of telepathic communication could become a reality.”

While more research is needed in the field of human-AI communication, MindSpeech has proved for the first time that AI can interpret forms of continuous, imagined speech directly from the brain without invasive surgery and points to how we may communicate with AI in the future.

“MindSpeech is the only research study to show that AI can decipher our imagined, free-flowing thoughts from the brain. Our team of researchers at MindPortal has proved that AI can interpret thoughts into text without requiring surgery or depending on a limited scope of sentences or verbal cues,” said Ekram Alam, Co-Founder & CEO of MindPortal. “This study represents a window into how humans will communicate with AI in the very near future.”

Signatory statement

“The launch of MindSpeech, the result of MindPortal’s groundbreaking AI research, marks the translation of free-form thought into text. This represents a major step forward in advancing a future where seamless communication based on brain-computer interfaces, employing the combination of non-invasive physiological measures and AI algorithms, is a reality. Previous efforts have been limited to decoding memorized words or phrases. The new approach, implemented through MindSpeech, is a significant advancement in human-AI interaction, capturing the fluid nature of internal speech. MindPortal’s AI research provides, for the first time, preliminary evidence that AI can decode continuous imagined speech from the brain.”

Putting Young Innovators Center Stage: Leaders In Future Tech+ Wraps with ¥526 Million in Investment Intentions and 31 Enterprise Landings

By

NANJING, China, Nov. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On November 7, the grand finale of Leaders In Future Tech+ — a documentary sci-tech innovation program jointly produced by China Media Group, the Ministry of Education, and the Nanjing Municipal People’s Government — aired as the Youth Innovation Carnival.

Since its October 3 premiere, the program traveled to 10 cities across China, selecting 100 teams of young innovators with an average age of just 28 from nearly 500 applicants. Fifteen finalists advanced to the finale, presenting breakthroughs spanning AI chips, optical interconnect, biomedicine, smart agriculture, and more.

To date, the program has facilitated ¥526 million in investment intentions covering 34 participating enterprises, and helped 31 companies reach landing agreements with 11 districts and counties of Nanjing.

At the carnival, the “Leaders In Future Tech+ Little Giant Transformation Plan” was launched, with 13 enterprises selected in the first batch to receive a five-module service system guiding them toward specialized, high-end development.

Behind these numbers is a media-driven innovation model: closed-door investment meetings were turned into open, transparent dialogues, connecting young innovators directly with venture capital firms, academicians, industry experts, and local governments — with the focus not on short-term commercial maturity, but on long-term growth potential.

The finale also showed how technology serves everyday life: non-invasive brain-computer interface demonstrations, low-cost bone-repair materials, and ultra-low-cost fresh-keeping cards that reduce agricultural loss — each a footnote to innovation with human warmth.

With Season One concluded, Season Two recruitment is now open to innovation teams nationwide via China Media Group’s official channels and the Yangshipin app (CMG Mobile). As the program’s message goes: put young innovators at center stage — and hand the future to innovation.

Operators, technology leaders, policymakers and innovators gather in Doha today for three days of exhibition, collaboration and debate on the future of connectivity across the Middle East and North Africa

DOHA, Qatar, Nov. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MWC26 Doha, held in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), opened today at Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), bringing together connectivity ecosystem to shape the next phase of growth for a mobile economy forecast to add $470 billion to the Middle East and North Africa by 2030.

MWC26 Doha officially opened today, in presence of His Excellency Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan bin Ali Al Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs. His Excellency Mr. Mohammed bin Ali Al Mannai, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, State of Qatar delivered a welcome address.

In his opening remarks, H.E. Mr. Mohammed bin Ali Al Mannai, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, said: “The second edition of MWC Doha takes place at a time when the requirements of telecommunications infrastructure are undergoing fundamental change. As artificial intelligence advances towards executing tasks through intelligent agents, the need for more resilient networks and advanced computing capabilities continues to grow. At the same time, global challenges underscore the importance of diversifying connectivity routes and ensuring service continuity.”

GSMA Director General Vivek Badrinath and ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin took to the stage for a fireside chat. Mr Badrinath set out the key priorities shaping the region’s connected future, with a continued commitment to global standards keeping networks and services interoperable across markets, as well as a renewed push to extend connectivity to populations that remain offline in MENA.

Vivek Badrinath, Director General, GSMA, said: “Progress only counts if everyone shares in it. That means two things: global standards that keep networks, services and devices working across borders, and a concerted effort to connect the people who are still offline. Over the next three days, MWC Doha, alongside its co-location with ITU’s PP-26, will bring together the policy makers, innovators and industry leaders setting these standards and building these networks, to help make this vision a reality. As the ITU Plenipotentiary continues, we are confident that the enhanced dialog which our co-location has allowed will feed into the important conversations taking place.”
