Control your Keyboard with your Brain?

[FearGets50s]

Thought this was kinda strange so I decided to share

Have you ever dreamed of the day we would be able to type on a computer without using a keyboard or our fingers? What if it were possible to type using your brain? This is an idea which has been in development for more than twenty years. During ceBIT 2011, Intendix showed off a product designed to help people without motor skills type on a computer. The future of technology is here, folks!

5-10 characters per minute!

Hmm. Well, should be exciting when it's released in full. Probably a while yet, though.

How would it work though?

It types whatever your thinking? What if im thinking somebody is a complete idiot and it just types it to them?

I dont get how it would work..

I know for people who are paralyzed like steven hawkin's, they have computers that tracks eye movement in order to communicate. My one teacher's husband had one.

I'm surprised it's been in development for that long. Computers are getting better by the day. Even the accessories. I mean, seeing a Mouse on Ebay for £90/$200 is a lot of money (It is pretty damn cool though ;D). But yeah, I saw this type of stuff in my school assembly, there also designing it so you can take photo's with your brain as well without clicking any buttons, and dialing phone numbers with it too without touching the keypad.

How does this work? With cables connected to you or what?
