This post spurred from the "Voiceless Speech" link of the day thread here.

Today I will be talking about the Audeo created by Ambient, what it does, its potential for our purposes and its overall feasibility.

The Audeo

What is the Audeo? The Audeo is a sensor/device which detects activity in the larynx (aka. voice box) through EEG (Electroencephalography). The Audeo is unique in it's use of EEG in that it is detecting & analyzing signals outside the brain on their path to the larynx.¹ The neurological signals/data are then encrypted and then transmitted to a computer to be processed using their software (which can be seen being used in Kimberly Beals' video).² Once it is analyzed and processed the data can then be represented using a computer speech generator.

Possibilities

The Audeo is a great sensor/device to detect imagined speech. It has an infinite amount of uses, especially in our areas of study. Here are some videos that show what the Audeo can be used for.

As you can see, the Audeo can be used in a variety of uses. I believe there would not be any issue in using it for our purposes. Though we would need to expand the analysis abilities of it, that only takes time.

Feasibility & Cost

This seems like a perfect starting point device for detecting speech and using it as an input. However there is a major issue. The website is inaccessible, the email boxes are full which cause mailing errors, and the phone number provided does not lead to Ambient. I contacted Micheal Callahan, the co-founder of Ambient, and received this response: "Unfortunately, the Audeo is no longer available for purchase. Development continues, but I wouldn't expect availability for the upcoming years." Unfortunately this makes it currently impossible for us to use this device and we should look for alternatives which can accomplish the same tasks.

I am continuing my communication with Micheal Callahan to gain more knowledge over the Audeo, how it works, and it's situation.

Thank you for reading my post about The Audeo by Ambient. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If I made any errors or you have a suggestion please feel free to tell me.

Good research here Harris. It is unfortunate that it is unavailable for us to use. Hopefully there will be other people working on something similar to this we can contact. Keep up the communication with Micheal Callahan, and hopefully we will get something out of him =D

I believe it may have been claimed and sequestered by the military industrial complex for use in military applications, and the other branch is medical which also takes years to come to market because of all the regulations and barriers to entry, and that's what they mean when they say it won't be available for years to come because it is inaccessible to consumers. However, the manual is available online and it may be quite possible to reverse engineer with technology inexpensively with today's off-the-shelf components.

The world is standing on the 'verge of the abyss' after 2020 was the third-warmest year on record - behind 2016 and 2019, the United Nations warned yesterday.

The World Meteorological Organisation reported that temperatures were around 1.2C (2.2F) higher than before the Industrial Revolution from 1760 to 1840.

It stressed that 2011 to 2020 was the warmest decade ever.

Many parts of the world suffered devastating hurricanes, wildfires, floods, heatwaves and droughts last year.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned: 'We are on the verge of the abyss.' He added: 'This report shows that we have no time to waste.

The climate is changing and the impacts are already too costly for people and the planet. This is the year for action.'

Under the 2016 Paris Agreement, countries are trying to curb global temperature rises to 1.5C (2.7F).

Mr Guterres warned climate impacts were 'already too costly' for people and planet, and called on countries to act immediately.

Countries must commit to cut their emissions to net zero by 2050, and submit plans in the next few months that will collectively cut global emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 to help limit temperature rises, he urged.

He called for an end to fossil fuel subsidies, a phase-out of coal power plants, and for rich countries to deliver on their pledge of 100 billion US dollars a year for developing nations to cope with climate impacts and develop cleanly.

The warnings come as global leaders prepare to take part in a summit this week convened by US president Joe Biden to galvanise efforts by major economies to combat climate change ahead of key UN Cop26 talks hosted by the UK in November.

At the weekend China and the US announced they had reached an agreement to cooperate with each other and with other countries to tackle the climate crisis, raising hopes of action by them and other countries to slash pollution.

Countries have committed under the Paris climate agreement to halt global temperature rises to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels, and try to curb them at 1.5C to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, but plans so far do not get close to what is needed to meet those goals.

The warnings come as global leaders prepare to take part in a summit this week convened by US president Joe Biden to galvanise efforts by major economies to combat climate change ahead of key UN Cop26 talks hosted by the UK in November

The new report from the UN's World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) highlights the urgency of the need for action, as even the economic slowdown caused by the pandemic - grounding planes, halting traffic and shutting offices, factories and public buildings - has not halted the drivers or impacts of climate change.

WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas said: 'All key climate indicators and associated impact information provided in this report highlight relentless, continuing climate change, an increasing occurrence and intensification of extreme events, and severe losses and damage, affecting people, societies and economies.'

Mr Guterres said 2020 had been an unprecedented year for the climate, as well as because of the pandemic.

And he warned that with temperatures rises reaching 1.2C above pre-industrial times, pushing the world close to the 1.5C threshold, 'we are on the verge of the abyss'.

He said: 'This report shows that we have no time to waste.

The climate is changing, and the impacts are already too costly for people and the planet. This is the year for action.'

Spartan1016: I think that lucid dreaming may take longer though, we understand so little about dreaming. Another thing is that we still move while in REM. Another concern is the fact that it would take a while to relax the body to that state and waking up randomly Dec 5, 2017 12:48:00 GMT -5

Spartan1016: I think the government might start to fund these projects b/c of military uses such as battle sims and in training. Medical uses too. I think that our biggest problem is paralyzing the body which we can try to do by inducing sleep paralysis. Dec 5, 2017 12:49:56 GMT -5
