• Abstract: In this paper we explore continuous silent speech recognition using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. We implemented a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) automatic speech recognition (ASR) model to translate EEG signals recorded in parallel while subjects were reading English sentences in their mind without producing any voice to text. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using EEG signals for performing continuous silent speech recognition. We demonstrate our results for a limited English vocabulary consisting of 30 unique sentences.

  Most languages lack sufficient paired speech and text data to effectively train automatic speech recognition systems. We propose the removal of reliance on a phoneme lexicon to develop unsupervised ASR systems. We experimentally demonstrate that an unsupervised speech recognizer can emerge from joint speech-to-speech and text-to-text masked token-infilling.

  We introduce Wav2Seq, the first self-supervised approach to pre-train both parts of encoder-decoder models for speech data. We induce a pseudo language as a compact discrete representation, and formulate a self-supervised pseudo speech recognition task. This process stands on its own, or can be applied as low-cost second-stage pre-training.

In this paper we demonstrate that through this mechanism our system is able to recognize more than 85% of newly added words that it previously failed to recognize.

The recognition performance and the visual distinction observed demonstrates the existence of silence signatures in EEG.
