Paralyzed and Speechless Can Tweet with Their Brains

I just couldn't wait for you to see this from my next newsletter!

In the News: Sharing with Writers subscriber and photo-artist for She Wore Emerald Then, May Lattanzio passed along this information for fellow readers:

Paralyzed people and people who can’t speak can now use their brains to tweet. See how Twitter is influencing medicine and science! Truly! http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/22/twitter.locked.in/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

  1. I'm not much into Twit (I am sometimes a twit, however), but I do have a friend who has an autistic daughter, and one with a combination of syndromes that make it difficult for her in normal conversations and social situations. For both girls, this would be miraculous.

    I also have lost track of a cousin who is middle aged now, who has cerebral palsy. What a wonderful milestone this is.
