"For many decades, the idea that we could control computers with little more than our thoughts has been the stuff of science fiction and the dream of many scientists.  Neural Signals is fortunate to be the historic first to allow a locked-in man -- who is alert and intelligent but unable to move or speak -- the ability to control a computer directly with neural signals."
