This is a prosthetic that translates brain signals into speech at 18 wpm. Human speech is generally about 150 wpm in english. I've read that the informational output is relatively consistent between languages, so in a language like german you get bigger words and fewer wpm. Assuming that's correct, 150 english wpm is probably close to the processing speed of the brain, minus the overhead of converting thoughts to speech.
