Brain2Qwerty v2 is a model that decodes natural sentences from real‑time magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings, achieving an average word error rate of 39% across 22,000 sentences typed by nine subjects. The model uses character, word, and sentence‑level representations and shows that decoding accuracy improves log‑linearly with more data, narrowing the gap to intracranial brain‑computer interfaces. AI contributes by replacing hand‑crafted event detection with deep learning, fine‑tuning large language models for semantic extraction, and employing AI agents to refine the decoding pipeline through automated code development.

The paper introduces a Cross-Subject Perceived Speech Decoding (CPSD) framework that tackles the challenge of decoding perceived speech from non‑invasive brain recordings across different subjects. CPSD uses a two‑stage training process: first, contrastive learning pre‑trains a source model on multiple subjects to capture shared representations; second, personal specialization fine‑tunes the model for a target subject by extracting consistent components and further training on that subject’s data. A Positional Encoding‑based Spatial Attention (PESA) module is added to remap MEG/EEG data into a standardized reference space, improving cross‑subject consistency. Evaluations on three datasets (Armeni 2022, PKUEEG 2025, Broderick 2018) show that CPSD outperforms baseline methods by more than 6.8%, 15.4%, and 15.8% in Top‑10 accuracy, demonstrating its effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness.
