I hope somewhere in the adjacent future these interfaces can allow the mind to read from a digital frame buffer to allow interesting and creative software to run augmentively.
Actually, I think I heard about some disabled guy that could draw pictures with his mind, but I could be wrong.
EEEEWW! That looks horrible!
V3RTIGO: Actually, I think I heard about some disabled guy that could draw pictures with his mind, but I could be wrong.
His imagination?
V3RTIGO: you are correct in assuming there was a disabled guy who drew pictures with his mind. However, they were just squiggly lines HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I think that I prefer using my voice to control my computer instead of this brain procedure. At least wearing a headset and talking to my computer does not involve any blood or pain.
yeah, but what if you were on a secret spy mission and talking to your hand held device would give away your position? you gotta think about these things.
looks like something from saw.

I hope that in figuring out the ways to use thoughts to control things that they come upon ways to install information into the memory in our brains. Similar to what they did in the Matrix. This research is facinating to say the least.
I CONTOL COMPUTER WITH BRAIN!!!! WOOOHHHOOOOO
