• Experts scanned participants' brains as they listened to and answered questions
• They used this to create a decoder that can interpret speech from brain activity
• Both heard and actively produced speech can be decoded from cortical scans
• The device could one day help people who cannot speak due to illness or injury 

A new mind reading gadget can interpret brain activity and predict what you want to say before you've even uttered a word — and even produce a transcript in real time.

Researchers used brain scans of people listening to and then answering questions to develop a system to decode speech from the corresponding brain activity.

Dubbed the neural decoder, once refined it could be used by people who cannot speak or their own due to illness or injury.
