What If You Could Hear Someone Who Can’t Talk?This Chip Might Be the Most Human Invention Yet

The Chip That Could Give Millions Their Voices Back.

Exclusive with Paradromics CEO Matthew Angle — a serious contender to Elon Musk’s Neuralink.

The Pain of Silence

They’re alive. They’re aware. But they can’t speak or move. For thousands of people around the world, their thoughts remain trapped behind an uncooperative body after a neurological condition.

For families, that silence is unbearable. The person they love is still right there, but unable to say a single word.

I understand that pain personally. My father lost his ability to speak after a paralysis attack. I remember the frustration in his eyes as he tried to communicate. The words were there, piling up, but locked inside. Back then, all I wished for was a miracle to free those words.

So today, when I met with Matt Angle at the Open Silicon Valley forum and saw the tiny chip, it felt like the magic I had once wished for was resting in his palm.

The Man Holding the Future

Matt Angle is the founder and CEO of Paradromics. In his hand, he held something smaller than a coin; a brain chip that could soon help people like my father find their voices again.

Matt isn't just a marketer selling dreams. He's a neuroscientist and technologist with a post doc from Stanford and a Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg. In 2015, he founded his company Paradromics in Austin with the mission to create brain-computer interfaces (BCI) that can restore communication to people who have lost them.

Engineering a New Language for the Brain

Paradromics' work centers on decoding brain signals, translating the electrical activity of through into digital language. Their implant technology in designed to give people the ability to communicate again, using only their minds.

The idea is simple but profound: if you can record and interpret the brain's speech signals, you can help someone speak again even after the body has stopped cooperating.

When Science Becomes Hope

This isn't about futuristic fantasies or robotic enhancements. It's about genuinely helping people regain one of the most human abilities we have: to connect through language.

Matt and his company's work is still progressing, but it's moving fast. And for many families, it represents the hope of finally talking to their loved ones again.

One day soon, someone who has been silent for years can finally look at their finally and say, "I love you." That's the world Paradromics is trying to build.
