The Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery is currently working on devices which analyse animal thought patterns before spelling them out in English, with two-way communication between dogs and humans being the ultimate goal.
According to Metro.co.uk, there are plans for English, French, Spanish and Mandarin versions of the doggy speech translator in the future. So far though the product is a work in progress, and the first version of the translator device will be quite rudimentary. Yahoo News reports that the first of these devices which will translate a dog's thoughts into English, will be delivered around April 2014. The gadget looks largely like a pair of headphones, although it’s made of an electroencephalogram (EEG) element hooked up to a processing unit (a Raspberry PI computer) and a loudspeaker that helps the dog talk. Early on, the EEG unit will only detect a few thought patterns when placed on a dog’s head, including tiredness, hunger and curiosity. According to mashable.com, the device is called No More Woof. All translatable dog thoughts will appear in audio form via the gramophone-like plastic trumpet attached to the headset. The project is being funded via its Indiegogo page.
