FASHION BRAIN • Mobile Phones

irst there was the watch phone and an ear phone, now enter the tooth phone. Don't go on choking on your food now.

We're serious. British researchers James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau have come up with a prototype that allows you to embed a phone chip into your molar and receive mobile phone calls.

Your phone can now literally follow you wherever you go, now that it is actually inside you.

It works through signals that vibrates and transmits from your tooth, through your skull and finally to the depths of your ear. Rest assured, only you can hear those signals and no one else. Highly suitable for spies a la Alias. Unfortunately, it's only a one way communication tool.

You'll be able to hear someone but you can't talk back to them. Let's hope they figure out how to open the communication channel and maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to talk to air next. www.auger-loizeau.com
