MIT Student Invents "AlterEgo"



Delhi-born MIT student, Arnav Kapur, has developed "AlterEgo," a revolutionary device that enables speech communication without the need for verbal or physical gestures. The non-invasive, wearable neural interface allows users to interact with machines, AI assistants, and even other people using only internal articulation of words.

 

The AlterEgo system operates by capturing peripheral neural signals when a person internally articulates words. When activated, these speech articulators facilitate communication with machines or individuals, without any observable external action, turning the user into a virtual 'second self.'

AlterEgo, an innovative device created by MIT student Arnav Kapur, allows individuals to communicate with machines and humans internally, without speaking a word.


In a viral video showcasing the device, Kapur flawlessly answers a series of questions posed by an interviewer without uttering a single word. Astonished, the interviewer comments, "You have the entire internet in your head."

 

The primary aim of AlterEgo is to assist individuals with speech disorders like ALS and MS. By eliminating the need for traditional speech, it offers an invaluable communication tool for those facing challenges with verbal expression. However, the potential of AlterEgo goes beyond that. The device could seamlessly integrate computing into people's daily lives, acting as an extension of their cognition and abilities.

 

The device has the potential to revolutionize communication for those with speech disorders and enhance cognitive abilities.
