Truth be told, we've already seen instances where technology has enabled individuals to speak without speaking, but a brain implant placed into Eric Ramsey's head could certainly raise the bar in this field. The wireless electrode, which resides just six-millimeters below the surface of his brain, records pulses from 41 surrounding neurons involved in speech generation, and thanks to software developed by the associated team, those thoughts will hopefully be translated into words in the not-too-distant future. Currently, the group feels that they can accurately identify the word Ramsey is thinking up 80-percent of the time, and in the coming weeks, a computer will begin giving the patient real-time feedback so he can perfect the art of thinking out loud. 'Course, the team responsible isn't likely to be satisfied until an unadulterated conversation can take place, but it seems we're well on our way to seeing that come to fruition.

But, you have to admit that you'd probably enjoy knowing how many guys think you're hot. :mock

The gov't will get a hold of it and control the masses when the plans for a New World Order are released. Turning them into a humanoid/slave hybrid uni-race, controlling their thoughts and actions. While IRAN is invaded, martial law will be declared and it will spin out of control into a downward spiral too which it will never recover.... RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!

thats pretty kool, i have a cousin that is a mute, and this would be pretty kool for some1 like her:fact
