Machine reads electric signals, aids communication for the paralyzed 

The Neural Prosthetic Systems (NPS) Laboratory at Stanford has developed a
system that enables users to type 15 words a minute using their minds. Though
this communication prosthesis technology is still in its trial stages,
researchers behind the system hope to one day use it to aid severely
paralyzed patients in communication.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (video)
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".
