  • Why does he wear the band on his neck if it's supposed to operate off of brain waves? Would someone like Steven Hawking theoretically be able to use this technology?

  • takes some time.... i'll hang up lol!

  • is it just me or is the audio in this video jacked up? keeps pulsating, I wonder if it could be my audio settings?

  • @Mikej1592 nah it is the video

  • Comment removed

  • Am I the only one who gets a weird feeling in their chest and lower neck when they talk

  • what a piece of bullshit. if you just think the words but dont speak them then there is no signal going to your vocal chords, so you cant measure shit on the neck.

    pure fake.

  • @41stgaming I can see why you think that but texas instruments and newscientist are pretty reliable sources. I doubt they would try to fool us.

  • what are the error rates like for something like this?

  • Lol ¿why don't use it to make people with vocal or tongue lesions talk again?

  • Imagine if it can read your mind then say it Like you look at someone you hate Like a teacher and says "Hi there" then the first thing that comes to mind is "What the fuck do you want Nugget" Now you have to explain why your mind reading device said that

  • The proverb, "I can read you like a book comes to mind." -_-

  • you mean texting?

  • how do you send the signal to the neck thingy and not speak? O-o

  • I think this is terrible... TOO LAZY TO SPEAK? everyone wants to do things and think about it but... having it out there without really saying it is stupid. it took years for me to learn to bite my tongue and not say things i'm thining out loud, now this thing is try to set me back ? bad technologie if you ask me, why not help people in research

  • This is preciously what I have discovered. It seems that many HQ DVR's are also able to capture these telepathic sub vocal thoughts TRS which can also be reversed for intent w/none of the traditional vocal contamination as is prevalent w/standard reverse speech.

    I have numerous videos where I was able to lift the thoughts of another person 2-4 Sec. prior to them actually manipulating the larynx to speak.

    If you would be so inclined I can electronically read your mind under certain conditions

  • @ThanhyBoyCoDScoper With the options you just listed, people around you can still hear you talking. This device eliminates that.

  • This technology is similar to what I am being forced to experience which is voice to skull technology used by some group or organization. This is being used to monitor my thought life and electronic voices speak out what I think and someone is taking note of what I am thinking. This is not a legal thing to do to someone, as your thought life is your last personal property you have, and for me it has been invaded for about 1 1/2 years.

  • @brandynne That's absolute nonsense.

  • @brandynne I can also violate your thoughts at will & record them also.

  • @brandynne Schizophrenia.  Get checked out. Now.

  • I'm buying a turtleneck and going on Jeopardy!

  • Very interesting could be a helpful tool for depression obviously it would require some filtering. By example if you have negative thoughts then positive affirmations could be played back to you.

  • that Dog Colar is way to creepy my thoughts are mine they doesn't need to be translated with a dog Colar i once saw a futuristic Movie with Rutger Hauer he was in a prison has a Dog Color on when he cross the line its explode the head of well have some wrong thoughts and this dog colar explodes as well ,Humans on a leash ,no thanks next step put that dog colar on,sit at your PC and your PC pick up your thoughts very very creepy stuff ,destroy it soon as it can
  • @jojomcbean it is also something that is being used by the military for operations where speaking out loud isn't exactly something you want to be doing.

  • Great Asian women for you  ***lushfmlk.info***

  • Think about a situation, where you are about to say something stupid and then you hold yourself back. But now, the device sends out your dumb rant, before you can even think about holding yourself back. Nut a good situation :D

  • @cyberdaemon Lol just my thinking.

  • this is a scam. they explain nothing, and using a dog-collar they capture the brain activity??? what a joke. they just want money to develop it further...

  • Comment removed

  • @Beamshipcaptain My bad, thanks for correcting

  • @jojomcbean Develop what? Or maybe just pretend they are developing something? The whole thing reminds me a Tintin in the Land of Soviets story, where factories are just hollow places, where people pretend that they are doing hard work lol.

  • i could use this in my math test next weak

  • @sbarnichta21 you're also going to need it for your spelling test.

  • Just focus on your mental abilities to comunicate and do this for free and much better.

  • lmaoo yea, that didint look hard at all...

  • It's like it here's you when you would normally cover the phone turning to the person next to you saying 'Asshole'.

  • one problem - when you speak, it's your mouth moving not your vocal cords : /

    the voice just controls the volume.. it's your mouth that makes the words

    so how the hell would this work?

  • @super6plx speech recognition. The voice you heard was from a computer, not actually his.

  • @DarkLordArt I know that, but for it to read his mind and say the words he's thinking it would have to read the signals going to his MOUTH, not his vocal chords. the signals that this device is reading are the ones that go to his vocal chords from his brain. they would only contain information about how loud his voice would be. in order to read what his brain intends to SAY, it would have to read the signals going to his MOUTH, as it's the mouth that forms the words, not the vocal chords.

  • life to voiceless....priceless. need this techology...:0( hope it comes to full life soon.

  • he is concentrating so hard like he is shiting

  • Scary

  • LAG!!!

  • takes to long to respond....

  • @XxAtomic646xX it will most likely become faster. It's still awesome

  • And you can use it to interrogate what a suspect is thinking... scary o_O

  • @YuneShik not really. only if he "say it for himself". as in when you say something without actually saying it.

  • I really got entertained by this one.

  • Does any one kno how to read braind activity.. ? without spending a lot of money.. i want to make some thin but dont kno how to get a input..

  • @chandanamarasinghe

    Good luck trying discover this knowledge on youtube you moron

  • humseriously guys there must be some nice men out there i am so lonely

  • I can hear what people speak before they do speak, I can hear the cochlea of some people, not everyone, only those that have threatened to kill me, you know, I live in Brazil and the organized crime bribes all authorities so we have to get smart to stay alive I use UNIX, because M$ they hack, but they are getting sophisticated, they are hacking brains nowadays

    I notified MOSSAD and keep their site open here to avoid some harassment

  • are u srsly dude... i hope not

  • The organized crime is using pulsed microwave weapons here in Brazil.

    There is some kind of stimulation those weapons can do.

    Medical doctors know close to nothing about them. Magnetic resonance results of people affected can be pretty weird.

    I hope some day authorities will monitor the space where people live.

    Meanwhile I continue "guessing" the thoughts of those who threatened my life.

    It is life preserving itself.

  • how did organized crime in brazil get "pulsed microwave weapons." So these emit pulses of microwaves i assume. why havent we heard about this technology

  • You will "hear" about this technology if you search the web Google: EBL - Electronic Brain Link RNM - Remote Neural Monitoring Frey effect Electric signals 8th cranial nerve Cochlea microphony V2k -voice to skull ------------------------------­-------------- You will know what I'm talking about There lots of people in the world violating the Nuremberg Code and this must stop I don't want to see those Mengeles at large any more
  • interesting i'll definitely give it a look

  • Amazing !! Great work!!!

  • I wonder how hard/easy it is to turn a worded thought into signals that go through N IX (assuming that's where it's picked up) without actually saying that sentence.

  • This is not telepathy. It seems likely that it's "simply" interpreting neck nerve impulses and then looking up the pattern in a database. Similar to speech-to-text software, you would need to train the device for yourself or train yourself for the device.

  • This technology is the first stepping-stone and basis for "Technological-Telepathy". Soon it will be Biological Telepathy.

  • There already exists synthetic telepathy.

    This technology is much more advanced than what this guy says.

    There are some movies about this:

    "being John Malkovitch"

    "Minority Report"

    Believe me, those people can not put in movies exactly how things are, try to research by yourself and read my other comments on this vid

  • Mind reading. Once again science turns myth into reality.

  • what if you talk one thing and think another thing

  • Then you are a yogi master. That is the great thing about sub-vocal speech. The conversation cannot ever be manipulated into something it is not.

  • so you can't lie????

  • Nope. That is the great thing about telepathic communication: no more secrets and lies.

  • "That is the great thing about telepathic communication: no more secrets and lies."

    You can always lie to yourself if you're deluded. Not that this device has anything to do with actual mind reading.

  • Functional MRIs likned to computers are actual mind reading. This is a form of that, so it is actual mind-reading of conscios thought, which use the same nerves we use to speak with. Look it up online. There is a great expose of the technology on CBS' 60-MINUTES news magazine. The one thing we found out from the research is that everyone's brain works pretty much the same, which was not known 3-years ago.

  • That's a false analogy with MRI that actually makes images of brain activity by using powerful magnets and radio waves.

  • How is it "false analagy"? Seems to me its exactly analagous. We have ALS patients conversing with it today, its calld BMI, or Brain Machine Interface, and is cutting-edge cybernetics.

  • The device is not sensing direct brain activity, it's sensing activity around the neck. I'm not denying that it works, I'm just rejecting the assertion that it's mind reading.

  • It is sensing the electrical signals in the vocal-chord nerves, which are nerve-cells. You use the same nerve cells, and fire the same neurons whn you think to yourself as when you speak aloud. If someone surrepititionsly and unknown to you injected an RF-chip with vocal-chord nerve sensing ability in your neck, anyone with a reciever could read your conscious thoughts. 'Mind-reading' it is.

  • Distinction noted, thanks.

  • Ehh, no thank you!

  • thanx but no thanx! and in the meantime SOME OF US ARE AWARE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE a MUCH MUCH MORE EVOLVED COOL ULTRA SOPHISTICATED GEAR INSIDE OF US: our bodies ARE THE RECEIVERS/EMITTERS/we just need TO REACTIVATE OUR INNATE FACULTIES + REMEMBER. How ever apparently noble these findings look, no need for any silly zillion dollars DOG COLLAR to accomplish a successful telepathic communication! not to mention that one of the consequences would be the total lost of our freedom/our sovereignty!

  • Fine. Instead of developing and getting grants to develop this technology, we should instead invest in education courses that enable people to activate their natural telepathy that we have lost over the millenia because of the development of LANGUAGE. I welcome new technologies, and new science, which means knowledge. It is important for people to see this. To know that it is possible, today. To know that in 2009-2010, we have surpassed the technology depicted in the old STAR TREK.

  • i was just thinking that. tell me do you practice ESP? i'm currently focusing on psychokinesis atm.

  • Sorry to say, affirmative. The FORCE.

    Yes, I have had ONE instance of RECIEVING telepathy from my sister, in the 1980s, who was 20-miles away, one instance of seeing my friend's energy-body (which looked exactly the same as his coarse-matter-body, including clothing), have had 2 or 3 pre-cognigive-dreams, and I am showing a lot of force on the aluminum-armature of my enclosed PK, or Life-Foce tester-traner, that I added an orgone capacitor to, which I first built in 2004.

  • I've have lots of procognitive experiences on a regular basis. Its a bi-product of practicing psychokinesis. Interestingly there is a curious issue involving the relationship between psychokinesis and procognition. As it is often difficult to tell (with regards to the future) if you are manifesting intent or percieving potential possibilites or a combination. Its only when you directly influence an object that you can feel the direct manipulation gradiant. Are you familiar with what i speak?

  • Yes, all the forces are related, and when you start working with one aspect (like PK), it seems to open up a door, and the ESP floodgates start to open wide. The Next step in Erth-Human evolution. FOR PEACEFUL USE ONLY, not for attack, or harming others. Only for knowledge, defense, and to inspire others to similar great discoveries and abilities that we will all need in the coming decades.

  • info: each of our cells contains 6' of DNA; considering the amount of cells that compose our bodies (over 50 trillion), scientists tell us we have so much wiring that we have enough DNA to go 5 million times around the Earth. Also, considering that the membrane of our cells is made out of LIQUID CRYSTAL (yes! check it out on Wiki) so: wiring + liquid crystal, doesn't that remind you of something? :D

    do you really want to be and stay FREE?

    take courage HAVE A GOOD AWAKENING!

  • It tells me that since we now have Technological Telepathy, we have now reached a mutation that heralds the next step in Earth-human's (Us) evolution: Biologial and Spiritual-Telepathy. With a telepathic-society (like most of the spacefaring races in the universe) war, crime, and hatred and greed become impossible; we become tryly "all-connected". Each person will have equivalent of an international cell-phone with unlimited calling and receiving inside their nervous-system. It's already there.

  • its surprising how similar that "phone" is to a dog colar

  • Very cool. The augmentation of human intelligence. The entire library of man, available with a single THOUGHT.

  • With this I assume stupid people (people that can't talk) will be able to communicate verbally now :) that's awesome

  • It would come in handy in a game of poker.

  • @DrFishNips Indeed it would...

  • soon where going to have no legs and arms and no mouths

  • Even Beamship officers must obey the law. The law must apply to EVERYONE, or it means nothing. You are an impersonator.

  • Beware of impersonators and identity-thieves on the internet. This technique should make them easier to catch, and prosecute.

  • haha nice but slow, its the future tho!!!

  • It's already pretty close to being functional, if it improves like most technology, we'll be using this in 5 years no sweat

  • The beginnings of Technological Telepathy. Followed by biomechanical, implantable, and finally biological telepathy. We will become a telepathic society, like all the other advanced races in the universe that are sentient, and reached a certain level of technological development. The possibilities for this are simultaneously tremendously exciting, and terrifying... Ther IS NO science fiction anymore.

  • This is pretty scary actually. Just wait til terrorists get their hands on it..

  • Comment removed

  • Why does it take so long to respond?

  • The processing still takes some time. Newer versions of the application software will have only a second or two delay, and it will translate ANY word (in English). Pretty cool.

  • NEO: I KNOW KUNG FU

    MORPHEOUS_ SHOW ME LOL when he begins to talks about the tapping into a internet for info sort of reminds me of that. Just one thing  they have to create filters for INFO the internet is already saturated with crap

  • this technology can be used for patients who are not able to speak. They should just speak in their heart, and the doctor will know what they are complaining about, just an idea

  • Wow! I know somebody that had a problem with her vocal cords at birth, so she can't talk at all. This would be the a great way for her to be able to talk.

  • All I can think of when more technology like this comes out... is when the enemy gets their hands on it..

  • another fucking retard... never a shortage of them

  • This is a good thing for Freedom of Speech, right? I mean, if you're talking to someone who is very timid or shy but wants to speak, this would come in handy. Or maybe you could use it to swear at people and just have your robot take the blame. Just call it AI-Tourettes.

  • GOD BLESS THE INTERNETS

  • very much like how ender and miro speak to jane, the computer AI, in the ender's game series. really cool stuff.

  • that is a setup for a future control collar. I would never put that around my neck.

  • mate, i think you're being a tad paranoid. its just extension to your phone...like a bluetooth set

  • you think I'm paranoid. All the things happening with our government and economy now and you think I'm paranoid lol. It's more like you're opening your eyes to what the hell is going on.

  • think about it why a collar. why can u just place n stick it on your neck. last i recalled dogs n slaves wore collars

  • You could wear it just as two button-sized electrodes on your vocal-chord nerves. When you think consciously, the nerves to your vocal chords are activated, the same as if you were actually talking aloud. This is both exciting, and terrifying. We are becoming a telepathic-society.

  • Nah, I'm with dl4breeze on this. It might be being marketed as a phone extension now but imagine how powerful a tool this could be in the wrong hands. I read an old Sci Fi story onceset in a futuristic dystopia where the Govenment reads people's thoughts using a similar device to intercept crime and dissent. Supermarkets would love this technology too - you think of the next item on your list and are told where in the store it is. They can then compare your thoughts with what you actually buy...

  • ONY 4 EASY PAYMENTS OF 399.99!!!!

  • Science FTW

  • incredible. this has so much potential once its perfected and fast enough for real time

    imagine being able to speak japanese as you think your sentence in english.

    very star trek ^_- also the amount of use for stealth is amasing. this is esentially telepathy ^_-

    though people should be carefull how sensative this technology becomes....like if your think sex sex sex you might accidentall say it to your grandmother over the phone XD

  • For the phone, you shouldn't need software to recognize the words. The source-filter model of speech synthesis is able to generate sounds based on the motion of the vocal cords without recognizing that sound's meaning. The formant wouldn't be as clear, but it would be good enough to recognize, and the process would be faster, more reliable, and less computationally intensive.

  • Thats awesome, just one thing. It's a known fact that anything that tight around a guys neck makes said guy look like a Harvard Prick, I believe it's called the Turtleneck Effect.

  • Aha! That sir, was indeed epic!

  • if this was real we would be hearing about it all over the world insted this video had been out for over a year and ive heard nothing

  • Look through the references on the Wikipedia article "Subvocal recognition."

  • It's called PROTOTYPES. And there are fucking tons of stuff just like this that you don't hear about.

  • i ment real as inon the market but fom what i found out after that i guess they do use stuff like that for people with problems like ms and stuff!

  • I saw it on the Science Channel a couple of nights ago. It is real. Not everything that is real is in the news 24/7.

  • you could cheat in an exam with this

  • indeed...

    hehe...

  • I bet this will be a total failure since very few wants to share everythink they are thinking :P

  • woot woot. metal gear solid becomes a reality :P

  • lol haha

  • Totally something the military would use, and hey maybe make animals speak like in UP! LOL

  • lol

    *using his example right there*

    if you're using the device to find where the local bus station is, since it uses search engines on the internet, couldn't it find a wrong one for you? :(

  • lol, i wouldnt want to use that because i could be thinking the guy i am talking to is a dickhead

  • HAHA I was thinking the same thing!

    "Hey is this bob?"

    *Oh not this jerk again*

    "Oh not this jerk again"

    "What?!"

    *Oh Shit*

    "Oh Shit...I mean umm sorry whatsup"

  • "Oh and this is my wife, Heather."

    "Pleased to meet you heather."

    *Look at those boobs. They're so round and perfect, I wish I had boobs. I look down at them all day and know how i hot i am. Man... Boobs are great.*

    "LOOK AT THOSE BOOBS. THEY'RE SO ROUND AND PERFECT. MAN I WISH I HAD BOOBS..."

    Heather's husband: What is wrong with you, ya FREAK! *Punches him in the nose*

  • You know the military probably looks at this stuff with sparkles in their eyes.

  • interesting

  • it seems easily fake but if it is real, it is slow but it would be cool

  • if they can make the second part work where it just goes of your thought, you could also have it so that it translates your thoughts, aka you can speak any launge with out knowing it!!

  • wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    but it is still buggy

  • do u think that if it wasnt buggy that guy would be there talkin nd not on his new private island?

  • seems like good technology, but still a long way to go. technology isn't evil, but people who make it evil....

  • not completely convinced

  • Does it also work for people with damaged vocal cords?

    So they don´t need this robot-sounding microphone anymore.

  • Comment removed

  • Hm. Interesting. Seems a little easy to face, especially since the other guy is reading from a script... But who knows?

  • (i think JesusWarrior is a Troll...)

  • stfu u fucking racist bastard and that looks cool there is only one flaw...

    if it was for phone calls then you cant hear the other person...

  • this is fake hes not even talking to him he probably has it already recorded on the computer fake feke

  • Well, that's the point?

  • its on new scientist, its now fake, dumbass.

  • this is works without tools too

  • this is a bit shit

  • come to Jesus all in these endtimes before its too late once we pass on.

  • Jesus is annoying, there are more cool people in Hell. :3

  • Chill out religous warrior!! for a number of reasons.

    1 - for your own good, it dosent do you any good stressing out about others opinions.

    2 - your method of passing on your own religous opinion is also ineffective, simple and plain aggressive.

    3- its not nessicarily a sin to embrace modern technology, jesus did it back in the day why wouldnt he now?

    4- keep your opinions to yourself next time, or send it to them via a message, or go and accually preach what you beleive somewhere. not here! bye

  • I will never chill for Jesus.

  • is this shit real....I kinda know it is but..really?is it.need more proof

  • Yes it is.

  • of course it isnt... durrrr

  • hah first thing i thought

  • oh people would freak out of they read MY thoughts.
