Mind-Reading

Twitter messages are so short - a 140-character limit - that you have to really think about what you want to say.

For Adam Wilson, thinking is all he has to do.

Earlier this month, Wilson thought of a tweet (the name for a post to the social networking site) and poof, his computer read his mind and sent the darn thing. At just 23 characters, Wilson's message, "using EEG to send tweet," was done with a computer setup that interprets brain waves.

Whoa!  That's so cool!

I saw an episode of House where the patient in the bed next to him had "locked in syndrome" and they used a computer hooked up to his brain waves to choose "up" or "down". 

It was amazing.
