Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider only within supervised clinical research, subject to eligibility and oversight.

Why
Human experiments and independent offline reanalysis support feasibility, while reliable everyday inner-speech communication remains unproven.
Next
Look for prospective trials with sustained voluntary communication, user-controlled activation, implant safety and independent clinical replication.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Requires invasive recording and supervised research infrastructure.
  • Human evidence comes from a small cohort.
  • Everyday communication reliability remains unestablished.
  • Offline reanalysis does not establish imagined-only clinical performance.
  • Privacy controls and voluntary activation require further clinical validation.
