ESP?
Now. I know a bunch of people start thinking big brother when they see stuff like this, but as far as I am concerned, it looks like some cool shit.

Charles Jorgensen is working to solve both problems, using an uncanny technology called subvocal speech recognition. Jorgensen demonstrates it at his offices at NASA's Ames Research Laboratory in Mountain View, Calif. He attaches a set of electrodes to the skin of his throat and, without his opening his mouth or uttering a sound, his words are recognized and begin appearing on a computer screen. The Ames lab has already used subvocal commands to drive a car around a virtual city in a computer simulation and to Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) the Web using nothing but unuttered search terms and commands. Jorgensen sees abundant applications for his technology where audible speech is impossible: for astronauts, underwater Navy Seals, fighter pilots and emergency workers charging into loud, harsh environments.
