Detecting Speech Without Microphones

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-kind-of-wierds-me-out dept.

kyle90 writes "New Scientist is reporting on a new way of detecting speech without using microphones, using electrodes places on the neck that measure muscle activity and nerve impulses. Apparently the user doesn't even need to speak the words out loud in order for them to be detected. This looks like pretty neat technology; if used with cell phones it could give the user a little more privacy, and the rest of us a little more peace and quiet."

    Oy vay... Ashlee Simpson makes me sad.

    Her and Jessica's father, Joe Simpson, was the youth minister at my church for 8 years. I grew up going to children's sunday school with Ashlee. And now look what has happened. I'm ashamed.

    One day I tried examining my ass in the mirror, but I couldn't turn my neck enough to see it, so I was spinning around like a cat chasing his own tail. Anyway, to make a long story short, in all that effort, I accidentally inserted my finger into my anus, hilarity ensued.
