Twitter Hack – Brain Twitter Interface for Locked-in Syndrome or a Spinal Cord Injury

WOW!  Twitter can now officially be twitted using your brain!  NitroLab of University of Wisconsin has figured out a way to write tweets using the human brain waves.  The whole process is rather cumbersome but it’s a viable solution for those with Locked-in syndrome or a spinal cord injury to communicate online with the world.

The 140 characters of Twitter really allows this device to be the perfect interface as writing a letter can take a second or two as seen in the video.
