NASA has a new device that allows them to 'hear' subauditory speech. In other words, to hear what you're going to say before you say it:

"A person using the subvocal system thinks of phrases and talks to himself so quietly it cannot be heard, but the tongue and vocal cords do receive speech signals from the brain," said developer Chuck Jorgensen, of NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California.
