Synthetic neurological data created using generative adversarial networks could speed up training of brain-computer interfaces, new study finds. Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering are using generative adversarial networks (GANs) — technology best known for creating deepfake videos and photorealistic human faces — to improve brain-computer interfaces for people with disabilities. In a paper...
