　　牙齿传感器监测你的活动

　　A person’s mouth says a lot about them. Soundsobvious, but I’m talking less about what vocalizesand more about the way it behaves when we eat,drink, speak or even cough.

　　一个人的嘴能透露很多信息。听起来像是废话，但是我说的不是说话，而是我们吃喝，说话，甚至是咳嗽时嘴巴的活动方式。

　　Researchers at National Taiwan University believe that monitoring such oral behavior can providedoctors with a wealth of information about a patient’s dietary habits, dental hygiene and overallhealth.

　　国立台湾大学的研究人员相信通过检测嘴部活动能够给医生提供病人饮食习惯，牙齿健康和总体健康水平的信息。

　　To test their idea, they built an accelerometer-based oral sensory system to identify how amouth is being used based on the movement of its teeth. Placed in the mouths of eightpeople, a prototype system correctly recognized each person’s oral behavior up to 94 percentof the time.

　　为了验证他们的说法，他们制作了一个基于牙齿活动辨别嘴部运动的加速传感系统。放置在参与实验的八个人口中，这个尚在研究初期的系统能准确识别94%的活动。

　　The researchers now want to build a wireless version that might someday fit inside a fake toothor attach to a pair of braces. The sensor could send you or your doctor a message whenyou’re not sticking to your diet or not keeping your promise to quit smoking.

　　现在研究人员想制作一个无线版本，或许在未来的某天可以放入假牙或者附在口腔内。传感器能在你违反食谱或者偷偷抽烟时向你或者你的医生传递讯息。

　　Let’s hope they also build in an alarm for bad breath. That would benefit the person wearingthe sensor, and everyone around them as well.

　　我们也希望能加入呼吸困难警告。这样的话就会让佩戴者受益，同时周围人也都受益。
