But recently Scott found a new voice. "Can everyone hear the PC? I apologize for the quality of the voice," he asked in writing.

Scott wrote these words, one letter at a time, with nothing but his thoughts and the help of what's called a brain computer interface or "BCI." He wears a cap that picks up the electrical activity of his brain and allows him to select letters simply by thinking about them. Then the computer turns his sentences into speech.

  1. Yeah, there is some bazaar stuff going on with technology, Who would have thought any of this was possible. It's also a little spooky. Hey, I think it would be nice if you could feed a homework sheet into the computer and it could do it for you. You never know.
