00:00 I think you are wonderful.
00:02 Anything is possible.

00:07 The BRAVO trial stands for Brain Restoration of Arm and Voice
00:15 through Electrocorticography.
00:17 The O is from electrocorticography,
00:19 which is the approach of brain recordings
00:21 that we use in the BRAVO trial.
00:23 The overarching goal of the BRAVO trial
00:25 is to restore speech and communication
00:29 to people who have lost it.
00:30 It's also to restore movement and ability
00:32 to do things like control a robotic arm or a computer
00:36 cursor.
00:36 There's been a lot of progress being
00:38 made in the field by our group and other groups
00:41 in terms of understanding how the brain works,
00:45 but also decoding brain activity and trying
00:48 to tap into the neural activity to understand
00:50 what someone's thinking about or what they're trying to say.
00:53 And a lot of that actually requires and relies
00:56 on tools for artificial intelligence or deep learning
01:00 that didn't really even exist even five years ago.
