What was said
"That's what we're working on. That is going to happen, and it's going to happen soon. And there's a lot of progress in that. And again, we're just trying to enrich the field of communication expression to make it more normal."
Dr. Chang revealed his lab is developing technology to create fully animated facial avatars controlled directly by brain signals, allowing paralyzed individuals to communicate with realistic speech and expressions rather than text alone. He predicts this technology will extend beyond medical applications to mainstream digital communication within years, fundamentally changing how people interact in virtual spaces and potentially replacing text-based platforms like Twitter with avatar-based communication.
