Meta's brain-scanning system reads sentences non-invasively, code open source
Meta has developed a brain-computer interface system called Brain2Qwerty that decodes full sentences from neural activity using non-invasive MEG and EEG scans — no surgery required. The system represents a meaningful step toward practical brain-to-text communication, bypassing the implants that have defined the field until now. Meta is releasing the code as open source, inviting researchers to build on the work.

From brain waves to words: a new path to communication without surgery
Meta researchers have developed Brain2Qwerty, a non-invasive system that decodes brain signals captured via EEG or MEG into typed text with meaningful accuracy. Unlike existing brain-computer interfaces that require surgical implants, this approach relies on external sensors placed on the scalp. The breakthrough could open communication channels for people with paralysis or speech impairments without the risks of invasive procedures.
