Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media including instructions for detecting and utilizing facial skin micromovements are disclosed. In some non-limiting embodiments, the detection of the facial skin micromovements occurs using a speech detection system that may include a wearable housing, a light source (either a coherent light source or a non-coherent light source), a light detector, and at least one processor. One or more processors may be configured to analyze light reflections received from a facial region to determine the facial skin micromovements, and extract meaning from the determined facial skin micromovements. Examples of meaning that may be extracted from the determined facial skin micromovements may include words spoken by the individual (either silently spoken or vocally spoken), an identification of the individual, an emotional state of the individual, a heart rate of the individual, a respiration rate of the individual, or any other biometric, emotion, or speech-related indicator.
