Audeo ! ! The thought Interpreter ! !

"Speak your mind !". This is what an American student-inventor Michael Callahan is given the literal meaning with his new invention " AUDEO - The thought interpreter!" along with his co-inventor Thomas Coleman. Audeo is a new technology which was unveiled on 12th august at the inaugural session of NIWeek, the annual developers' conference. They stunned a 5000 strong audience of Engineers with their unbelievable invention on which they worked for 3 years.

The machine was attached to a wheel chair and it was not operated by any physical strength, but by the signals tapped by the black collar attached to the throat of the chair occupant. The black collar patch picks up neurological symbols from the throat of the person who wants to speak , and it can be transformed to any form. With the signals generated it was interpreted to a mechanical form and made the wheel chair move it was thought to move by the occupant.

Then the keynote speaker was invited to check this dream machine. NI's vice-president for R&D Tim Dehne, attached himself to the machine. He wos asked to stop short of mouthing them. "AUDEO" interpreted the brain signals into English and a computer-synthesised voice said:"This is really cool!"

Technology has started to take step into its next generation with inventions of this kind. The ultimate aim of serving the mankind of those who are physically challenged has lead to great inventions and this invention is another milestone or" A Big leap for mankind!"

FACT : The signals were tapped from neck because the brain sends signal through your throat. Even if the person is unable to speak, the nerve endings are closer to skin in this area than anywhere else.
