arXiv:2605.27790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large language models have accelerated open-vocabulary EEG-to-imagined-text decoding, where non-invasive neural activity recorded during visual perception is translated into coherent natural language descriptions of viewed stimuli. However, existing systems remain highly vulnerable to biological noise, where corrupted neural projections induce hallucinated or semantically unstable generation in frozen language models. We introduce SYNAPSE (Symbolic Neural Alignment for Precise Semantic Extraction), a lightweight neuro-symbolic
Advances in large language models are enabling more sophisticated attempts at interpreting complex biological signals, making neuro-symbolic approaches more viable.
This development represents a significant step towards more reliable and nuanced brain-computer interfaces, potentially enabling direct thought-to-text conversion.
The ability to filter biological noise from neural activity more effectively improves the accuracy and semantic stability of imagined text decoding, opening new avenues for communication and medical applications.

More accurate decoding of imagined thoughts into text becomes possible.
This could lead to significantly improved assistive communication devices for individuals with severe motor or speech impairments.
Ethical and privacy concerns around 'thought surveillance' or unauthorized access to mental states may intensify as decoding capabilities advance.
