Good news Jim...this type of work IS being done. I hope that within 5 years that there will be "implants" similar to the one used for the deaf to hear will do just as you say.
There are already prototypes that allow thoughts to do basic arm and hand movements such as picking up a glass, cup, fork, etc. For your and your son's sake I hope this takes place on the front end of medical technology. 73, Walt/K5YFW -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of jgorman01 Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 7:29 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Re: USA: No Advanced Digital HF Data Comms If the folks working on getting nerve responses to control artificial limbs really wanted to make some money they would be working on how to interface a cell phone keyboard via bluetooth directly to nerve connections.
