Husbands are in trouble world wide with this technology. But you know what they say women always know whats on a mans mind, because it's always the same. The real benefactors of this technology will be men we never know whats on a womans mind. Oh and of course government and Law Enforcement. Just wait until the porn companies, and marketers figure out how to incorporate this into you television microphone and computer systems.
This will prove to be the thing that changes the way we communicate, we will invent an entire new dictionary of slang, with word substitutions meaning something different.
It will be interesting to see if this identifies the malfunction of a person with a speech handicap. Is it something that happens within the brain or is it a mechanical function of muscle or tendon structure. Hopefully in the end it would help families communicate with their children and there speech problems. But it does give raise to the whole idea of a closer fitting tin hat. One more thing, does this mean we could go back at some point to controlling our own vehicles after the self drivers they predict in the future? DARPA has already created a fly by wire helmet that a wheelchair bound quadriplegic has flown in a flight simulator. Just say'in
"Japanese scientists have potentially developed a device that can "read minds," a computer that can read information from brainwaves and decipher words before they are spoken. This "telepathic" computer allowed the researchers to realize that the brain's electrical activity is the same whether words are spoken aloud or held inside."

"A team of scientists, led by Yamazaki Toshimasa, the Kyushu Institute of Technology's brain computer interface expert, examined the brains of 12 men, women and children while they recited a series of words, recording their brainwaves while the subjects did so. They used an electroencephalogram, or EEG, as their method of identifying words in the Broca area of the brain.
The researchers said that the device is able to examine brainwaves to identify the syllables and letters of the Japanese alphabet, giving the device the ability to decipher words and phrases without them needing to be said aloud, according to the Daily Mail. They identified the Japanese words for "goo," "par" and "scissors" with the computer before they were spoken."

"Each syllable produced a specific bit of brain wave activity from the initial thought about the word to the act of speaking it, with the time frame of brain activity taking up to two seconds for each word. The researchers built a database of these brainwaves, allowing them to match them to words without the subject speaking them. The algorithms they developed could identify the Japanese words for spring and summer ("natsu" and "haru"), 47 percent and 25 percent of the time, according to a paper from the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.
Single characters in the Japanese language were correctly identified almost 90 percent of the time. Additionally, the Japanese words for "will," "one," "turning," and "do" were successfully identified around 80-90 percent of the time.
The study has opened up the possibility for people who have lost the ability to speak, or have become paralyzed to be able to communicate once more, according to Toshimasa. He also believes that the control of robots through brainwaves could become a reality, according to Nishinippon, a Japanese newspaper.
This echoes similarities from another "telepathic" computer built in 2010 by British scientists from the University College London that is able to decipher thought patterns by scanning the hippocampus, differentiating between memories and other recollections. Their algorithm correctly identified which of three short films a participant was recalling at a given time with 50 percent accuracy, well above the level of chance, according to the Telegraph.
