TOBI: Mind over Matter for People with Disabilities
From: Medical Device Design - 08/26/2014

People with serious physical disabilities are unable to do the everyday
things that most of us take for granted despite having the will - and the
brainpower - to do so. This is changing thanks to European projects such as
TOBI (Tools for Brain-Computer Interaction). People with limited mobility can
write emails and even regain control of paralyzed limbs through thought alone.

TOBI received EUR 9 million in EU research funding to develop practical
technology for brain-computer interaction to improve the quality of life of
people like 20-year-old Francesco and 53-year-old Jean-Luc.

Thanks to TOBI, Jean-Luc was able to communicate by typing email messages via
a computer cursor controlled through his brain waves. 'Participating in this
project allowed me to see that I can still be useful to society' he said in a
statement read by his sister at the project's final workshop.
