Brain-sensing technology allows typing at 12 words per minute

Technology for reading signals directly from the brain developed by Stanford
Bio-X scientists could provide a way for people with movement disorders to
communicate.

A technology, developed by Stanford Bio-X scientists Krishna Shenoy, a
professor of electrical engineering at Stanford, and postdoctoral fellow Paul
Nuyujukian, directly reads brain signals to drive a cursor moving over a
keyboard. In an experiment conducted with monkeys, the animals were able to
transcribe passages from the New York Times and Hamlet at a rate of up to 12
words per minute.
