contents The aim of the study is to investigate the complex mechanisms of speech perception and ultimately decode the electrical changes in the brain accruing while listening to speech. We attempt to decode heard speech from intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) data using deep learning methods. The goal is to aid the advancement of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology for speech synthesis, and, hopefully, to provide an additional perspective on the cognitive processes of speech perception. This approach diverges from the conventional focus on speech production and instead chooses to investigate neural representations of perceived speech. This angle opened up a complex perspective, potentially allowing us to study more sophisticated neural patterns. Leveraging the power of deep learning models, the research aimed to establish a connection between these intricate neural activities and the corresponding speech sounds. Despite the approach not having achieved a breakthrough yet, the research sheds light on the potential of decoding neural activity during speech perception. Our current efforts can serve as a foundation, and we are optimistic about the potential of expanding and improving upon this work to move closer towards more advanced BCIs, better understanding of processes underlying perceived speech and its relation to spoken speech.
