The process of reading people's minds may no longer be as distant a topic as it once was. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is working on a mind-reading project in conjunction with a digital assistance called AlterEgo.

Private institute MIT according to the last ones information pushes the boundaries in communication with technological devices to a whole new level. Scientists from the aforementioned university brought the world amazing discoveries in the field of robotics, but the project called AlterEgo represents science fiction that would onecould become a reality for a long time. Can you imagine controlling, for example, the TV without touching the remote control or telling the voice assistant what you want to start? With AlterEgo, this is possible through a simple thought that you say to yourself "in your mind".
However, this has nothing to do with the concept of mind reading. In fact, it is a matter of capturing electrical impulses that arise during the movement of the articulatory muscles of internal speech. Simply put, during inner speech, our body creates the same impulses as during classical verbal communication. AlterEgo is able to capture these impulses and then transform them into a form of communication with the given device, while you do not even have to open your mouth for a moment.
AlterEgo includes a headset, but it does not fit the classic headphones we are used to. The device uses sound transmission through the cheekbones and leads directly to the inner ear. Your ears and mouth are free and unencumbered by anything. The principle is hidden in the vibration of the bones inside the skull, which the brain perceives as a certain kind of sound.
However, the project from the MIT laboratories is still in the early stages of development. The headset looks distracting, but it performs its basic function without any problems. The "mind reading" system is still in its infancy, so it will be necessary to wait some time for a full-fledged product operating on a similar basis. The scientists from the institute are definitely on their way to a revolutionary step that would change communication as we currently know it.
