EEG decoding of silent reading shows data-limited performance

Researchers have developed a method to decode silent reading from non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) data. By training a convolutional neural network with a contrastive objective against a large language model's embeddings, they were able to reliably retrieve presented words from EEG signals. This approach, using approximately 240,000 word presentations from a single participant, demonstrates that lexical and semantic information is recoverable from EEG during silent reading, with decoding performance scaling with training data volume.
