The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded $496,999 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (operating as Stony Brook University) on August 15, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to design a closed-loop unvoiced interaction system enabling silent communication with computing devices. The project develops computational models mapping jaw kinematics and facial vibrations to phonetic and linguistic units, design a personalized, context-aware closed-loop feedback control system that adapts feedback in real time using structured knowledge schemas, and build a low-power earable hardware platform optimized for sensing jaw dynamics with programmable computational offloading. The system uses sensors in ear-worn devices to detect jaw movement and subtle facial vibrations associated with speech articulation without sound production, enabling private, hands-free interaction in environments where conventional voice interfaces are ineffective or inappropriate, including noisy settings, public spaces where privacy is needed, and quiet environments such as libraries, classrooms, and hospitals. Work is performed in Stony Brook, New York. The period of performance extends from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York serves as the child entity receiving and administering the award, with The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Sponsored Programs Office - System Administration) functioning as the parent administrative entity for the SUNY research enterprise.
