This is the technology that will revolutionize the world. The US Army is developing a lightweight scanner that can read your electrical brain patterns, translate them, and then transmit those signals. The technology will allow you to transmit emails, play a video game, or control a vehicle using only your thoughts:
It isn't hard to imagine combining this technology with an armored version of the SARCOS DARPA suit. In 10 years, this is going to be freaky.

Vocal cords were overrated anyway. A new Army grant aims to create email or voice mail and send it by thought alone. No need to type an e-mail, dial a phone or even speak a word.
Known as synthetic telepathy, the technology is based on reading electrical activity in the brain using an electroencephalograph, or EEG. Similar technology is being marketed as a way to control video games by thought.
"I think that this will eventually become just another way of communicating," said Mike D'Zmura, from the University of California, Irvine and the lead scientist on the project.
