Translating Thought into Speech

See original story at latimes.com
"In a first step toward helping severely paralyzed people communicate more easily, Utah researchers have shown that it is possible to translate recorded brain waves into words, using a grid of electrodes placed directly on the brain.

Although they have only done it with one person and individual words can only be identified with accuracy in tests 50% of the time, the study reported Tuesday provides a ray of hope for people who can now communicate only by blinking, or wiggling a fingertip."

You, too, can have your own mind-reader for on $80! Mattel's Mindflex and Uncle Milton's Force Trainer both allow you to practice your powers of mental telepathy...
