Device for silent speech

Chuck Jorgensen, a scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, and his team are developing a machine that can translate your body’s neuromuscular signals for speech, without the need to talk aloud:

We’re looking at the neuromuscular patterns being sent through the nervous system and inferring from those patterns what words would have been said out loud had a person actually permitted himself to produce the acoustics.

    No big deal - The Abominable Dr. Phibes was using a device that did this in 1972.

    Ever read the "Ender's Game" sequel novels? Ender talks to Jane this way... life imitates art.

    Sounds a lot like David Brin's "Sub-vocal" computer input device from his book "Earth".
