Researchers develop device that can 'hear' your internal voice

quote [ Researchers have created a wearable device that can read people’s minds when they use an internal voice, allowing them to control devices and ask queries without speaking.

The device, called AlterEgo, can transcribe words that wearers verbalise internally but do not say out loud, using electrodes attached to the skin. ]

What I'm wondering is does this allow for the hearing of voices that schizophrenics hear?

I wonder if this only works with intentional verbalization, or could it be used to transcribe the hypnagogic state, random default mode network chatter, or those cool ideas you always come up with when you're too high to write them down?

In my personal experience, most of those ideas are not a 10th so cool once you sober up.

This could be handy with dating, or interrogations. Whichever comes first.

For some people, both at the same time.

That is equal parts amazing and terrifying to hear.

That would be a huge fear for me. Really, I don't know what would happen if others could hear my inner dialogue. Exorcism, probably.

I don't think I'd even want to be reminded of most of the dumb shit that runs through my mind in the course of a typical day, let alone have anyone else hear it.

It will be helpful to Zuckerberg's crew. they'll be able to verify that you're thinking the thoughts you've been groomed to think.

But now think: in a courtroom, in front of a jury.

So from here on out, prison movies instead of having the black muslim clique will instead have Zen Buddhists.

I was thinking of the jury.
