From Cyberdy... errr... Cyberkinetics:
A new technology, soon to be tested in Chicago, plugs the human brain right into a desktop computer. Its remarkable goal: to enable quadriplegics to use it just by thinking, allowing them to do things like surf the Web, write e-mails, play video games and operate TV remotes and telephones, all without moving a muscle.
"We can take someone's thought and put it on a screen," said Tim Surgenor, chief executive of Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, manufacturer of the device, which is called BrainGate Neural Interface System.

So with this new device, will I be relieved of the huge burden of actually having to use my hands to control my computer? It's about time, because I find pointing and clicking to be a rather tiring endeavour.

I want something that can record my dreams. That'd be flippin' sweet.

Interesting article in last month's Wired about this.
