Our team has developed a wearable BCI capable of speech, and is intended for those with speech disabilities. Typically these interfaces only let people speak at max 10 words/min. Our solution uses @OpenAI #GPT3 to provide phrase suggestions, letting people speak over 2x faster.

Country music star @johndhopkins has found great success with @zacbrownband — and now, he’s learning to live with ALS with his family by his side. While he says the diagnosis was devastating, he’s now committed to helping fund research: “That’s my responsibility.”

I never met Adam, but everyone tells me how great of a human he was. 💙 Before he passed away from ALS in 2018, Adam raised funds and awareness for @ALS_AB. Tonight, we’re having an Adam’s Pale Ale from @SeaChangeBeer. You can have #OneOnAdam too: alsab.ca/seachange 🍻
