This is an interesting article on how Peter Brunner, wearing a skull cap with electrodes, can think, and only think, of what he wants to type. As it by magic his thoughts are transfered to the computer screen. He is typing without fingers. He is typing with thought.
As wonderful as this is, I just can't help thinking it's a hoax. Now, I'm sure it's real but this somehow seems like one of those demonstrations that look great. But we find out years later it was really just a magic act like when a magician makes a dove apprear from an empty hat.
Hopefully, this is real and that it is continually developed so that the handicapped can use it for communication. How wonderful that would be.
