Alterego claims it has made a 'near-telepathic wearable'

Alterego, a startup founded by MIT alum Arnav Kapur and neurotechnology exec Max Newlon, has unveiled "Silent Sense," claiming it's the "world's first near-telepathic wearable." The technology reportedly detects neuromuscular signals to speech muscles, enabling silent typing, web searches, language translation, and communication. A demo video showcases keyboardless typing and silent conversation, with potential accessibility applications. However, the bulky prototype lacks independent verification, and questions remain about its real-world performance.
