Brain-to-Language Decoding: Tasks, Signals, Methods, Evaluation, Practical Use and Beyond

The article surveys brain‑to‑language decoding, covering tasks, neural signals, methods, and evaluation across invasive and non‑invasive modalities. It traces the field’s evolution from constrained recognition to text generation, streaming speech, and facial animation, linking tasks to neural populations and decoder representations. The review highlights complementary decoding targets, shared representations, and the growing importance of calibration, feedback, and user control for online communication, while proposing a five‑level future trajectory toward bidirectional cognitive exchange.
