The New Scientist presented a video describing a thought-controlled wheelchair designed for paralysed people that can be navigated using thoughts alone. You may also remember the Wired article, Twitter Telepathy: Researchers Turn Thoughts Into Tweets:What’s next? I should really go and watch that Star Trek movie now.

Not likely to catch on but a useful way to showcase some cool scientific research:

Early on the afternoon of April 1, Adam Wilson posted a message to Twitter. But instead of using his hands to type, the University of Wisconsin biomedical engineer used his brain. "USING EEG TO SEND TWEET," he thought.

That message may be a modern equivalent of Alexander Graham Bell's "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you." Brain-computer interfaces are no longer just a gee-whiz technology, but a platform for researchers interested in immediate real-world applications for people who can think, but can't move.
