This Wearable Isn't Telepathic, but It Knows What You Want to Say

Alterego, a technology company, has developed a wearable device that can read brain signals and translate them into digital communication without the user speaking aloud. The device, which is worn on the face, uses electroencephalography (EEG) technology to detect neural activity associated with inner speech or subvocalization. This allows the user to communicate by simply thinking about what they want to say, without producing any audible speech. The technology has potential applications in assistive communication for individuals with speech disabilities, as well as in various other fields such as gaming, remote collaboration, and security. However, the technology is still in the early stages of development, and Alterego acknowledges that it is not telepathic and cannot read users' thoughts or intentions. The company is working to improve the accuracy and reliability of the device, as well as to address privacy and ethical concerns related to the technology.
