The late John Scheurner, whom I met on Vortex, worked on the first prototypes of the BEI. A scientist, paralyzed by ALS, was shown communicating by typing out messages. The first model was a cap with electrodes, the reporter put it on and a technician put conducting jell between the electrodes and the scalp. Then they showed a later model which is implanted in the brain. I had the same idea, but I decided that I didn't need another hole in my head. OTOH, if we could come up with a design where the skin were closed over the hole and the electrode just touched it. --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html --- No virus found in this incoming message.
