Speak Your Mind And Don’t Say a Word
Soon you will be able to have a cell phone conversation without saying a word.
A company called Ambient (www.theaudeo.com) has demonstrated the World’s First Live Voiceless Phone Call earlier this month at a Texas conference (see video). It takes signals from the brain and translates that into speech! And the best part - your secret thoughts are safe, just the ones you want to communicate wordlessly will be picked up by the “Audeo” neckband.
When you’re talking on a cell phone, other people don’t always need to hear you. With this technology, you have the option to speak and also well, not to speak! If you choose not to speak, and you’re wearing Audeo, you can carry on that conversation without saying a word.
By the end of 2008 the Audeo will be available for people with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease where nerve cells don’t function properly enough to allow a person to speak. The company’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through utilization of the mind and advanced communication. More power to them!
According to co-founder of Ambient, Michael Callahan, in the future when you’re walking down the street you will be able to do a Google search for the closest bus stop near you just by thinking about it - and get an accurate response in seconds. WOW!
