The hope is that people who are unable to speak because of neurological conditions may one day be able to communicate again thanks to this modern technology.
Helping people with motor disorders
“There are many patients who suffer from debilitating motor disorders, like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or locked-in syndrome, that can impair their ability to speak,” said Gregory Cogan, Ph.D., a professor of neurology at Duke University’s School of Medicine and one of the lead researchers involved in the project.
“But the current tools available to allow them to communicate are generally very slow and cumbersome.”
