I recently saw an piece on the Discovery Channel regarding this technology. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the show or when it was on, except "a week or so ago". But essentially, here's how it works, in a nutshell:
They (the scientists) discovered that when a person is speaking, his jaw emits electric signals that differentiate between the different words he or she is saying. Then, they discovered that you don't have to be speaking, and merely have to say what you mean silently to yourself (in your head) to emit those electric signals. Then, they figured out how to pick up those signals with a diode attached in the right place beneath the chin and neck. Once they had all that, they had the workings of a telepathic transmitter. Most likely, that's where this concept came from. I think the show was "NextWorld" or that New Zealand show about future technology... -- Bryan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
