(5.April) I don‘t want to alarm you, but robots can now read your mind. Kind of.
AlterEgo is a new headset developed by MIT. You strap it to your face. You talk to it. It talks to you. But no words are said. You say things in your head, like „what street am I on,“ and it reads the signals your brain sends to your mouth and jaw, and answers the question for you.(…)
The institution explained in its announcement that AlterEgo communicates with you through bone-conduction headphones, which circumvent the ear canal by transmitting sound vibrations through your face bones.
