We all can imagine the difficulty a man like Stephen Hawking faced during almost his entire life. But now, Ambient, a company co-founded by Michael Callahan (CEO) and Thomas Coleman (CTO) want to help Mr. Hawking and any other people who have the same dissabilities with their invention called Audeo.

But how? With a brand new revolutionize wheel chair again? They don’t think so. The technology itself somewhat and somehow will use signal processing so that the unpronounced speech (we call it ‘thought’) can be represented again. Take a look to this picture below.
Wait a second. What will this thing looks like? Oh yeah, I want to ask that question too. From their press release, Audeo is:
a wireless sensor worn on the neck to capture neurological activity that the brain sends to the vocal cords, and then digitizes this activity using analog and digital technology to turn it into speech. Thanks to the extremely low power consumption of TI’s MSP430 MCUs, the Audeo can last over eight hours on a single charge, giving people the ability to interact with their world knowing they will be able to communicate.
If you still wonder about this phenomenon; please watch the video here.
