1
In a few words, tell me what you're calling about.
2
I didn't quite catch that.
3
Can you try asking in a different way?
4
Terry is an extrovert.
5
He loves to talk and it is heartbreaking to see what he's going through.
6
That's part of his identity that now is no longer there because of the ALS.
7
He had made partner relatively recently at his company and was really enjoying kind of the apex of his career.
8
It was becoming difficult to communicate with his clients as well as with his peers at work.
9
He would come home from a business dinner and his speech would get slurred.
10
And at first I would joke with him, I'm like, oh, how much wine did you have with dinner?
11
And he would look at me and go, I didn't have any wine.
12
He unfortunately was placed on long -term disability and retired from his career that he was enjoying.
13
He's getting to a point where I'm having trouble understanding more and more of what he's saying on a regular basis.
14
That's one of my biggest fears is that I'll lose that ability to communicate with him and know instinctively what he's needing.
15
You know, it takes a while to digest that and learning more about the condition.
16
And we finally hit a point where, okay, you know, we've kind of made peace, this is the diagnosis, what can we still do and how can we still be happy and thrive?
17
Terry will be the third participant in the Neuralink voice study.
18
The more we learned about the study and what this would mean to him, it just seems like it's a no -brainer.
19
He needs to have his voice, and this can give him that.
20
At that point, I was all in and said, sure, let's go for it.
21
first we're going to connect to your implant
22
and use this to look at some of the signals
23
that it's producing and we'll see if there's any modulation
24
when you try
25
and think about doing different actions every row on this view is one channel on the implant
26
and so there's 3 000 of those channels in this implant
27
and so as this thing sweeps across it's populating new data in each column
28
And so this is a real -time view of the neural signals.
29
Wow!
30
One thing you can try to do is we can try and get these to light up a little bit.
31
Since we implanted this in the speech motor region, if you try and think or attempt speaking, we might be able to see some modulation.
32
So now, do you want to try and give this a hello world?
33
Okay, that's pretty wonderful.
34
Wow!
35
Yeah.
36
this is already super exciting to see like how much activity lights up
37
when you try and do different things next thing we want to do is collect data
38
and we'll actually build a decoder taking your neural signals
39
and translating them into your intended speech you'll see a sentence on the screen
40
and you'll attempt the best you can to speak
41
that sentence our understanding doesn't matter all that matters are your brain signals and your intention Make sense?
42
Okay, let's do this.
43
You'll start with this, it'll turn blue, you'll say what you want to say, then you'll press this button, and that will say it out loud through the computer speakers.
44
Sound good?
45
And press that top blue.
46
Hello, how are you doing today?
47
You just got your wife's back.
48
That impact of giving him his speech back has been remarkable.
49
Giving him a piece of his life back that is just such an integral part of him.
50
Neuralink has given me back my voice do you have more information about
51
that great thank you this works
52
really really well with ALS you start learning about what your priorities are
53
and it does put a lot of things into perspective what this means for him
54
and for us It's something
55
that I know I took for granted to just be able to have a conversation with my husband.
56
This means the world to us to be able to have that communication back.
57
That was a total game changer.
58
Is that all your brainwaves?
59
Oh my gosh, that is so cool.
60
Oh, oh, oh, what is this?
61
What?
62
Wait, you're syncing the words?
63
And they're popping up?
64
I, I love you.
65
Oh, gosh.
66
Getting back to normal life is what having Neuralink is all about.

¿Qué aprenderás en esta lección?

En esta práctica, mejorarás tu inglés hablado usando el video "Speaking With The Mind | Neuralink". Aprenderás a escuchar y reproducir diálogos cotidianos y técnicos, trabajando la pronunciación, la fluidez y la comprensión de contextos reales. Es perfecto para practicar el shadowspeak, una técnica que te ayudará a imitar la entonación y el ritmo natural del inglés. ¡Prepárate para ganar confianza en poco tiempo!

Vocabulario y frases clave

  • "diagnosis" (diagnóstico): Se usa para referirse al identificación de una enfermedad. En el video, se menciona el proceso de aceptar un diagnosis.
  • "neural signals" (señales neuronales): Las ondas cerebrales que transmiten información. El equipo analiza las neural signals para traducir pensamientos en voz.
  • "decoder" (decodificador): Herramienta que convierte señales en lenguaje. El decoder transforma las señales cerebrales en oraciones.
  • "modulation" (modulación): Cambio en la intensidad de las señales. Se busca modulation al intentar hablar mentalmente.
  • "suitable gift" (regalo apropiado): Un regalo que se adapta a la ocasión. En el video, se dice que un "leather handbag" es un suitable gift.

Consejos para practicar el shadowing

El shadowing es una técnica poderosa para mejorar la pronunciación en inglés, y este video es ideal para practicarla. Aquí te explico cómo hacerlo:

  • Empieza lento: Reproduce el video en 0.75x de velocidad. Escucha una frase, detén y repítela inmediatamente, imitando el tono y la articulación. El diálogo tiene un ritmo conversacional, así que focalízate en la naturalidad.
  • Preste atención a las emisiones: Las frases técnicas como "employee layoffs coincided with..." tienen palabras compuestas. Repítelas varias veces para que suenen fluidas. Usa el shadowspeak para marcar el énfasis en las sílabas fuertes.
  • Graba tu voz: Compara tu reproducción con el video. Notarás cómo mejoras la pronunciación en inglés al ajustar la entonación de frases como "Hello world" o "sound good?".
  • Practica 5 minutos al día: Los resultados se ven rápido. Este sitio de shadowing te permite acceder a más videos, pero con este lesson, ya estás un paso adelante en tu progreso.

Recuerda: el objetivo es no solo aprender inglés con videos, sino internalizar el ritmo y la expresión. ¡Cada repetición te acerca a un inglés más fluido! ¿Listo para empezar? Presiona play y déjate guiar por las señales cerebrales de tu propio aprendizaje.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
