Another route might also be sub-vocalization[1], like TTS for your thoughts. I recently picked up some cheap toys to get started trying to emulate the results[2].

I agree! My PhD thesis is on this topic [1]. We’ve also done a very limited pilot test on a patient with ALS, with above random chance. Actual results may vary heavily on individual disease progression—the more motor recruitment that’s intact, the better.

How is it going? It's not obvious to me at a glance.

I should clarify that is not my repo. I just received the Mind Trainers and am in the process of finding suitable EEG pads.

I guess I'm just interested in more information. Do people who aren't NASA have this working? I am just learning this sci-fi feature from Ender's universe is possibly a reality, and if I can check it out, I want to.

Got any jumping off points?

TBH, other than the NASA resources, I'm building it from scratch. Goal would be to record the signal while prompting a user to say/think a subset of words. Afterwards the HOPE is that I will be able to train a simple- functional- model based on those inputs.

EDIT: User `tbenst` linked their thesis above[1].
