Electrodes in the device pick up neuromuscular signals in the jaw and face that are triggered by internal verbalizations \u2014 saying words \u201cin your head\u201d \u2014 but are undetectable to the human eye. The signals are fed to a machine-learning system that has been trained to correlate particular signals with particular words.<\/p>\n<p>The device also includes a pair of bone-conduction headphones, which transmit vibrations through the bones of the face to the inner ear. Because they don\u2019t obstruct the ear canal, the headphones enable the system to convey information to the user without interrupting conversation or otherwise interfering with the user\u2019s auditory experience.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2018\/04\/computer-system-transcribes-words-users-speak-silently?utm_source=Facebook%20Videos&utm_medium=Facebook%20Videos&utm_campaign=Facebook%20Video%20Blogs\">https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2018\/04\/computer-system-trans...eo%20Blogs<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without saying anything this device will let you talk to your computer \u2014 https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/\u2026\/computer-system-transcribes-words\u2026 MIT researchers have developed a computer interface that can transcribe words that the user concentrates on verbalizing but does not actually speak aloud.
