more or less same crap is achieved via radiomyography from your local telecom towers. down to deciphering your inner monologue

Department of Defense Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Budget Estimates May 2009, USA

``` Silent Talk (U) Silent Talk will allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals. The brain generates word-specific signals prior to sending electrical impulses to the vocal cords. These signals of “intended speech” will be analyzed and translated into distinct words, allowing covert person-to-person communication. This program has three major goals: a) to attempt to identify electroencephalography patterns unique to individual words, b) ensure that those patterns are generalizable across users in order to prevent extensive device training, and c) construct a fieldable pre-prototype that would decode the signal and transmit over a limited range. ``` https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fiscal_Year_2010_DAR...

This looks no harder than to train custom Kaldi (circa 2017) phoneme model on brain waves, and using remaining Kaldi's functionality for everything else, except for text-to-speech. There was WaveNet for the TTS at that time, with sound quality that is good enough for (and can be improved by) radio transmission.

Thanks for a link!

point is - such tech is used right now to neutralize individuals. imagine hearing word "bread" inescapably couple hundred times a day coming from an unknown source right to your head. for months and (!) years right at the moment you are trying to conceptualize slightly harder thought than usual. everywhere you go 24/7. while there's no help from anywhere (police hasn't answered me for 2 years and counting) as the general public brushes it off as schizophrenia (it's not - voices completely stopped when the lightning storm took out the electricity) and Church paints it as the second coming of Christ (or antichrist when more suitable).
