1. A method of decoding brain speech activity of a subject into speech feature data, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving brain speech activity data from two or more of;
the anterior superior temporal gyrus (STG), medial superior temporal gyrus and posterior superior temporal gyrus of a subject into a decoder device;
(b) processing the received brain speech activity data with a decoder module present in the decoder device, wherein the decoder module is configured to convert the received brain speech activity data by predictive statistical modeling into speech feature data; and
(c) outputting the speech feature data to an output device,wherein the speech feature data is a representation of speech selected from the group consisting of auditory spectrograms, modulation representations, phonemes, phones, semantics, articulatory representations, nonlinear auditory representations, and motor representations of speech processing.

24. A system for decoding brain speech activity of a subject into speech feature data, the system comprising:
a decoder device comprising; a data input component configured to receive brain speech activity data from two or more of;
the anterior superior temporal gyrus (STG)), medial superior temporal gyrus and posterior superior temporal gyrus of a subject;a decoder module comprising; a processor; and a machine-readable medium encoding instructions operable to; cause the processor to convert received brain speech activity data by predictive statistical modeling into speech feature data; and output the speech feature data to an output component; and a data output component configured to output speech feature data from the decoder module, wherein the speech feature data is a representation of speech selected from the group consisting of auditory spectrograms, modulation representations, phonemes, phones, semantics, articulatory representations, nonlinear auditory representations, and motor representations of speech processing. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
