加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究团队在人工智能的加持下，成功研发出一款能够帮助嗓音障碍患者恢复沟通能力的柔性贴片。这一突破性进展为那些因声带受损而无法正常说话的人们带来了新的希望。
这项研究由生物工程系助理教授陈俊领导，其团队开发的柔性贴片利用磁弹性效应，通过收集并分析喉部肌肉运动的数据，然后利用机器学习算法将其转换为可理解的语音信号。这种装置使得即使在没有声带的情况下，患者也能够通过肌肉运动产生语音，从而恢复部分言语功能。
具体来说，该装置首先监测患者喉部肌肉的运动，然后利用机器学习对收集到的信号进行分类和识别。一旦识别出语义信息，系统就会选择相应的语音信号进行输出，最终实现患者通过肌肉运动“说话”的目的。
这一研究成果发表在《自然》杂志的子刊上，为嗓音障碍的治疗开辟了新途径。这一技术的出现，不仅能够改善患者的生活质量，还有望在教育、娱乐等多个领域发挥作用。

News Content:
A team at the University of California, Los Angeles, has developed a groundbreaking flexible patch that, when combined with artificial intelligence, can help individuals with voice disorders regain the ability to communicate. This breakthrough offers new hope to those who are unable to speak due to vocal cord damage.
Led by Assistant Professor Joon-Shik Choi in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the team’s innovation leverages magnetic elasticity to translate movements of the throat muscles into understandable speech signals. The device enables patients, even without vocal cords, to produce speech by moving their muscles, thereby restoring some of their speech functions.
The system first monitors the movements of the throat muscles and then uses machine learning to classify and interpret the collected signals. Once the semantic information is recognized, the system chooses the appropriate speech signals to output, thus enabling patients to “speak” through muscle movements.
This research, published in a Nature journal, opens new avenues for the treatment of voice disorders. The advent of this technology not only improves the quality of life for patients but also has the potential to impact various fields, including education and entertainment.
