THE DOG TRANSLATOR - DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR POOCH IS THINKING?

 

The headset that can read your DOG'S MIND: Gadget claims to analyse brain waves to transform inner barks into human speech.

No More Woof is a headset for dogs that lets them 'talk' to owners

It uses brain-scanning technology and translates thought patterns

The prototype includes phrases like 'I'm hungry' and 'I'm tired'

It has been developed by the Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery (NCID), a small Scandinavian research lab that has previously developed concepts like the iRock (a rocking chair that charges your iPad), the Fly Lamp (a hovering lamp that follows you around) and Nebula 12 (an indoor cloud generator).

 

Potential dog phrases already identified by the developers include: 'This is splendid!', 'Leave me alone', 'I am so very weary', 'Who are you?' and 'Erm, why are you guys leaving?'

 

The technology used in No More Woof is a combination of the latest technologies in three different tech-areas, Electroencephalography (EEG) sensoring, micro-computing and special brain-computer interface software.

Part of the pleasure of developing a relationship with a pet is learning how to communicate with each other - you with words, he with gestures, sounds, and face expressions.  Whoever needs a translator simply has failed to establish such a relationship.  Sad.
