• Abstract: In this paper we demonstrate speech synthesis using different electroencephalography (EEG) feature sets recently introduced in [1]. We make use of a recurrent neural network (RNN) regression model to predict acoustic features directly from EEG features. We demonstrate our results using EEG features recorded in parallel with spoken speech as well as using EEG recorded in parallel with listening utterances. We provide EEG based speech synthesis results for four subjects in this paper and our results demonstrate the feasibility of synthesizing speech directly from EEG features.

  We present a neuro-guided speaker extraction model, i.e. NeuroSpex, using the EEG response of the listener as the sole auxiliary reference cue. We propose a novel EEG signal encoder that captures the attention information. Additionally, we propose a cross-attention (CA) mechanism to enhance the speech feature representations.

  We propose Contrastive EEG-Text Masked Autoencoder (CET-MAE), a novel model that orchestrates compound self-supervised learning across and within EEG and text. We also develop a framework called E2T-PTR (EEG-to-Text decoding using Pretrained Transferable Representations) to decode text from EEG sequences.

  This study demonstrates, for the first time, that the synthesis-based approach can also perform well on this problem. Specifically, we propose a novel speech separation/enhancement model based on the recognition of discrete symbols. By utilizing the synthesis model with the input of discrete symbols, after the prediction of discrete symbol sequence, each target speech could be re-synthesized.

  We introduce and publicly release a Mandarin emotion speech dataset including 9,724 samples with audio files and its emotion human-labeled annotation. Unlike those models which need additional reference audio as input, our model could predict emotion labels just from the input text and generate more expressive speech conditioned on the emotion embedding. In the experiment phase, we first validate the effectiveness of our dataset by an emotion classification task. Then we train our model on the proposed dataset and conduct a series of subjective evaluations.

  Authors provided preliminary results for synthesizing speech from electroencephalography (EEG) features. Deep learning model takes raw EEG waveform signals as input and directly produces audio waveform as output. Results presented in this paper shows how different acoustic features are related to non-invasive neural EEG signals recorded during speech perception and production.
