Abstract:
1. An intraoral device, the intraoral device comprising at least one mouthpiece assembly removably attachable to at least one of upper teeth and lower teeth within an oral cavity, the at least one assembly further comprising: at least one interior surface; at least one signal emitter disposed on the at least one interior surface, the at least one signal emitter having an input and an output, the signal emitter configured to generate an output signal on the output of the signal emitter; at least one signal detector disposed on the at least one interior surface, the at least one signal detector having an input and an output, the signal detector operable to detect at the input of the signal detector, the output signal generated by the at least one signal emitter and modulated by the oral cavity; at least one demodulator comprising an input and an output, the input of the demodulator in electrical communication with the output of the at least one signal detector, and the demodulator operable to detect changes to the output signal generated by the at least one signal emitter as modulated by the oral cavity; and an intra-oral controller electrically connected to the output of the demodulator, the intra-oral controller operable to generate at least one control signal based upon the output of the at least one demodulator, the at least one control signal operable to control at least one operation of a remote device outside the oral cavity.
