Subvocalization sensors
    #11499043 - 11/21/09 02:09 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Subvocalization is when you speak in your mind. Ambient Corporation has apparently developed a devise which can convert subvocalized thoughts into electrical signals that can then be recorded or transmitted like you would with a cell phone.

From what I read when you word things out in your head your brain sends the same signals to muscles in your throat as when you actually speak and its these signals which this technology pick up. Its fairly impressive that these devices can convert these electrical impulses into speech. In that second link they mention that at the time the device could recognize roughly 150 words and phrases. That article is from May 2008.

They can obvious make the devices programmable so the user can input his own words to go with the signals coinciding with the word or sentence they're thinking. That way you could make shortcuts for saying long words or sentences. This technology will probably eliminate the need for a keyboard in the future.
