VIVAnews -a group of researchers from United Kingdom to develop the tools talk. With this tool, the larynx, or the base of his throat was appointed, either due to cancer or injury, could come back to talk.
As the informed, at this time, the larynx his appointed valves in his throat to redirect air from the lungs into the esophagus or esophagus. However, this became obsolete after the valve is used and should be replaced every few months.
Now, researchers found a successor who at once can detect and translate the movements of the face when someone tries to say a Word.
"We managed to take information from how they move the lips, teeth and tongue. From that information, we reconstruct their speech, "said Phil Green, researchers from the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, as quoted from MedIndia, April 26, 2011.
The device itself using a small magnet placed inside the mouth and tongue to form a magnetic field. The Sensor then mounted on the external headset devices to detect changes in the magnetic field inside the mouth while patients attempt to pronounce sentence. "So far, the systems we create is only about 50 new recognize only words," said Green.
However, the addition of the vocabulary is not to be the next target of the investigators. "The plan is going to do next is developing a magnet that can be installed in the tongue," said James Gilbert, Chairman of the team of researchers from the University of Hull.
In addition, Gilbert said, his team also target to reduce the size of the headset used as small as possible. Possibility of Bluetooth devices.
