In this paper we explore mind reading or continuous silent speech recognition using electroencephalograpgy (EEG) signals. We implemented a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) automatic speech recognition (ASR) model to translate EEG signals recorded in parallel while subjects were reading English sentences in their mind without producing any voice to text. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using EEG signals for performing mind reading or continuous silent speech recognition. We demonstrate our results for a limited English vocabulary consisting of 30 unique sentences.
