AlterEgo is a non-invasive, wearable neural interface enabling silent, internal communication with machines, AI, and other people.

This wearable device captures peripheral neural signals from internal speech, allowing users to interact with computing devices and AI assistants without vocalizing or making observable movements. It provides audio feedback via bone conduction, creating a closed-loop, internal communication experience. The system aims to support communication for individuals with speech disorders and seamlessly integrate humans with AI and the internet.
