Invention: the first “voiceless” phone call

by Marshall Brain

Imagine being able to speak on a cell phone wthout making a sound:

Nerve-tapping neckband used in ‘telepathic’ chat

From the article:

A neckband that translates thought into speech by picking up nerve signals has been used to demonstrate a “voiceless” phone call for the first time.
With careful training a person can send nerve signals to their vocal cords without making a sound. These signals are picked up by the neckband and relayed wirelessly to a computer that converts them into words spoken by a computerised voice.
