A "mind-talk" device to allow paralyzed patients to communicate



"Japanese companies have developed a device that allows patients suffering from severe muscular paralysis to communicate "yes" or "no" by measuring blood flows in their brains.

The product, called 'Kokoro-gatari' (Mind-talk), was developed jointly by electronics giant Hitachi, Excel of Mechatronix Corp, and Japan ALS Association for patients in the severest stage of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis." (image via Yahoo! News)
