Nerve-tapping Neckband Allows 'telepathic' Chat



Thoughtware.TV community member Navras has contributed this great video on a wireless neckband that allows the first voiceless phone call.

The video description is as follows:

The neckband translates thought into speech by picking up nerve signals to the vocal cords. With careful training a person can send nerve signals to their vocal cords without making a sound. The signals are picked up by the neckband and relayed to a computer that converts them into words. The technology, made by ambient corporation, previously had been used to let people control wheelchairs using their thoughts.

It could definitely be used for assistive technology, including people who have lost their voice. The ability to silently search with little more than your mind at a public place, and have the result be read to you on our bluetooth headset or simply talk with someone a world away would be a few steps away from Cybertelepathy. I think this is a great video.
