The research is a result of observations from awake language mapping during brain tumor surgery.

“Considering that a tonal syllable can be divided into tone and base syllable that are independent of each other, we proposed a divide-and-conquer framework. We hypothesized that tone and base syllable can be decoded separately from the neural activity and then tonal speech can be synthesized using the combination of the decoded tone and base syllable,” explained the researchers inThe research involved five participants who underwent awake language mapping during brain tumor surgery in China.

The participant was instructed to produce one of the eight syllables “ma , ma , ma , ma , mi , mi , mi , and mi ” following the audio go cue. Each participant performed 160 trials. To accurately produce and identify tones in tonal languages, the team enhanced the algorithms that observe neural activities.

Several recent studies have shown the feasibility of synthesizing short sentences and a few specific words in non-tonal languages, such as English and Japanese, from neural recordings.
