Reading about the guy that became unlocked (it wasnt ALS) it always haunts me that it took him a couple days to even know he was locked in At first he thought the nurse was just being unsocial when they came to do routine stuff with him! and then he realized he was in spectator mode Its going to be really hard for a lot of people when they find out whats going on with their locked in or previously locked in loved one…
What was his name?

Thanks for the video! 2:27 shows the process. They go letter by letter in order and then ask yes or no. I think asking about the next letter based on previous letters would vastly improved the speed
Yes! Binary search through the alphabet. Or, better yet, Hoffman encode common German words!
The downside is that with a powerful enough model you could replace the patient with a coinflip and have a hard time telling the difference.
Fascinating. I wonder if nerds like us could optimize the „bitrate“ of this. Lvng out mddl vcls is one vry smpl optn, fr exmpl. There must be even better ways, if you consider the frequency of words, for example. I wouldnt be surprised if one could reduce bits needed to express a sentence by 90%, if those numerologists that proved their worth with predicting Wordle solutions had a look at that.

I think that may already do what you want?

The guy is not in coma – did you even read the paper?
He is in a coma in the sense that's relevant here: > the patient, who was unable to move any muscles or even open his eyes

vcls?
axiosgunnar's profile says he is from Riga.

Given the amount of effort required to communicate, I was struck by how the patient used the filler word 'gerade' at the end of the article.
On Earth, right now, 735,000+ people with CI implants are boasting 24-nary brain wires.
CI = Cochlear implant.
