Krishna Shenoy is creating "brain-computer interfaces" that will enable paralyzed patients to control prosthetic arms and computer cursors. In this short talk, Shenoy describes how his team of Stanford researchers has built a system that achieves typing at 15 words-per-minute, just by "thinking about it".

Is it part of the four year partnership with: UMD, Rice, DARPA ?

It's interesting that DARPA always seem to be involved with the really promising (in my opinion) technological developments.

A couple things I don't think they're doing right: they should be limiting and focusing the sensory input (restrict light and sounds) of the subject and maximize the sensory feedback (64 diodes on the EEG cap is not enough).
