Default Look,no hands-the brain-computer interface

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/allinthemin...06/1799619.htm

To be broadcast on 2nd Dec

Artist Pro Hart died of it, so did actor David Niven - the nightmarish legacy of Motor Neurone disease which paralyses the body as the disease progresses. Communication can become restricted to an eye-blink, with the mind remaining intact and active in a frozen body. But the technological cutting edge of the brain-computer interface could make a difference, and help people communicate with the outside world using the only thing they have left...their mind. Turn on the TV, switch off the lights and even send emails, just by thinking about it? No, it's not hocus-pocus.

I hope all is well with you.

It is sooo trying to be sick. Sometimes it's just overwhelming.
