Telepathy has arrived

Sometimes inventions just blow me away, this is one of them.

Ambient Corporation has developed a neckband that detects the nerve signals from the brain to the vocal chords and translates them into speach. They are using microchips from Texas Instruments.

The possibilities of this are endless. In the press info they talk about giving people who can't speak that ability back and they describe the possibility of private conversations.

Wired with one of these collars you could be having a conversation with anyone, anywhere in the world and no-one would be aware.

This is incredible stuff.
