Ion‐Gating Reservoir Computing for Preprocessing‐Free Speech Recognition from Throat Vibrations
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a throat‐mounted mechanoelectric sensor integrated with an ion‐gel/graphene reservoir device for on‐device speech recognition. The system converts raw biomechanical vibrations into rich nonlinear current dynamics, enabling efficient classification through a simple linear readout. The approach highlights a compact and tunable physical‐
