I'm not surprised that this is possible. I think I tend to move my mouth more than normal when I think of words myself (enough for others to notice).

This is an old idea I recall reading about it in the fourties, If it is to used by interrogators as a substitute for torture there is a low tech solution simply blowing air into the subjects mouth but you cannot do anything today without incorporating a computer

Apparently St Augustine is the first person recorded as reading without moving his mouth.  His fellow monks were amazed.

I read several times faster than I can speak. I think most, or certainly many, people do. So one suspects this would confuse, or completely submerge the system. The reference to speed reading seems to support this.
