Midterm Update Summary

The progress with regard to the schedule

Technical challenges met, solved and remaining

I research on AlterEgo to find out how it to cognitively augment humans, change the

way people communicate with one another, and enable a discreet gateway to digital

information where the interaction is intrinsic rather than something extrinsic.

I have updated two main parts of my research

• A novel wearable architecture for a bidirectional silent speech device.

• How the neuromuscular input works.

will continually follow the schedule to figure out the third one.

• The utility of the device as a personal computing platform and interface.

Adjustment requested to the proposal

Luckily, there is no adjustment needed due to the proposal so far.

Anything else needs to be updated

More detail about the architecture, like the details in the convolutional neural network to classify into word labels. Possibly CNN knowledge needed for researching purpose.
