University of Portsmouth’s Paul Gnanayutham has devised s system which uses patients’ brain waves as well as eye and muscular movements to move a cursor on a computer .
On the prototype device can include targets such as ‘yes’ or ‘no’, it can also switch on electrical appliances as well as link to internet pages. Researchers say the device has the potential to change targets to anything a person needs to say, watch or do.
