“Brainwaves to Text: Exploring the Brain2Qwerty Project”

Meta (formerly Facebook) and Spain’s BCBL (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language) are collaborating on a research project called “Brain2Qwerty.” By using noninvasive devices like EEG and MEG, they collect brainwave data while volunteers type on a keyboard, training an AI to predict text based on these signals. Early tests show up to 80% accuracy—especially promising with MEG—though equipment size and error rates still pose challenges. If refined, this technology could assist individuals who struggle with speech, and it may have broader applications in future brain-computer interfaces.
