Brain Sensor Tests
by Bob Seay
WRNI (July 13, 2006)

Imagine a paralyzed man using the power of his brain to play a computer game, adjust the television volume, or check his e-mail.

It sounds like science fiction, but it's the result of a tiny sensor implanted in the man's mind.

The sensor was created by Cyber-kinetics Neurotechnolgy Systems, a private firm created by some Brown University researchers in partnership with the school.

WRNI's Bob Seay discussed the results of the initial testing with Brown University Professor John Donahue.
