the procedure has already been done 4 times in Australia, allowing the patients to text and even make online shopping purchases just using their thoughts.

this American, with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has lost the ability to move or speak, and this interface hopes to provide him with the ability to surf the web and text and communicate his thinking. sounds good stuff.
