Default Subvocal Speech Systems - Talking on the Quiet Side

http://www.thefeature.com/article?articleid=101612

"How do you talk to someone without opening your mouth? Psychics call it telepathy. NASA refers to it as subvocal speech. Scientists at the NASA Ames Research Center in California have developed a system of tiny sensors that read nerve signals in the throat that control speech. You may not make a sound when, say, you read silently, but your nervous system is buzzing with activity. Recently, they used the system to make the first subvocal cell phone call."

This article really gets you thinking about the future of voice communication. It almost sounds like something out of Star Trek when they talk about the user wearing a button sized sensor just under their chin. Although, in Star Trek they still have to make audible sounds, suckers. I'll give them a couple more years of research and development, and then I want to see a small button sized Bluetooth solution for everyone to enjoy! Imagine not having to listen to the person sitting next to you in a restaurant or subway as they talk endlessly on their mobile phone.
