http://www.viroadshow.com/ Ever wish you could just think of something and it would happen? What if, more importantly, you were unable to speak, but still wanted the ability to communicate? A group of engineering students at the University of Illinois ( http://www.theaudeo.com) have developed an amazing technology that interperets the brain's speech signals using National Instrument's products. They used this technology to create a wheelchair that is controlled only by your thoughts. You have to see it to believe it.

Please accept my apologies for not understanding the obscure aspects of irony. Trying to express humour and irony across the Internet through writing is not an easy thing to do -- as you have so deftly proved. Maybe see you at the local education Centre. (That was humour, as well, although tinged with an element of seriousness).

sapodobrasil, don't get your panties in a wad! Read what I wrote again. I'm not cynical, nor am I skeptical, I was laughing at all the plebs who write 'FAKE!' when they see a video that is blatantly REAL!!! Also, I think that it is highly LIKELY that a scientist would claim to be developing an application that would help millions of disabled people... Here's one now! For help with reading and writing, contact your local education authority. (That was just a joke, by the way!)

I think that it is highly unlikely that a scientist would claim to be developing an application that would help millions of disabled people. I do not see at all how he could gain from, looking at it from your cynical viewpoint, making such claims and to face certain financial ruin as well as imprisonment.

I know him and interviewed him for a project. All of these demonstrations are 100% real.

They made another version with "thought to speech" capabilities. It's no hoax.

Looks like he was veering into the wall as he tried to head off down the corridor. Maybe you can only execute one control at a time. Steering while moving would be the next logical step. Check out the world's first 'voiceless' phone call on newscientistvideo! ('FAKE!' - Hahaha...)

NASA actually developed something similar to this that is being used to control robots on Mars and other stuff.
