MIT student from India develops an AI-enabled device that helps you converse without voice.
This device enables people to converse with machines, AI assistants, services, and others without any voice or observable movements, by simply articulating words internally. The device captures peripheral neural signals activated during internal articulation of words, allowing users to transmit and receive information without disturbing their surroundings or invading their privacy. This tool could be particularly beneficial for people with speech disorders such as ALS and multiple sclerosis.
