Hard to believe it's real, but it is. Developed at MIT.

From the company's website: "Your thoughts stay private. AlterEgo only responds to intentional, silent speech. Your private thoughts stay private, and you direct every interaction."

But that assertion assumes people can fully control their thoughts.

There are "neural rights" privacy experts who are heavily debating this tech. The nation of Chile went so far as to protect neural rights in their constitution.
