Sci-fi Coming True

There's been a concept used in various sci-fi novels over the years called "subvocalisation" - the idea is that a device can pick up muscle movements or thought impulses related to speech, before you actually speak, and turn those movements/impulses into audible speech elswhere via radio etc.

It's not a new idea. But two things have happened:

1. NASA have made some progress towards it, and

2. Somehow this is the guy that thought of it first. Somehow I doubt it - he's too young.

The cheek of some people.
