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.
The technology could one day help patients who otherwise can't communicate finally talk to the outside world. Among them are people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brain-stem stroke or high spinal cord injury.

Could come in handy here at FR, huh?
Look Ma, No Hands! :-)
TweeT!
If I signed up for twitter would Obama then be able to read my mind?
I wonder what would happen with coma patients?
You mean like Democrats?
“I was going ... mmm, hooters ... what was I saying?”
KRAMER: You know, in the year two-thousand, we’ll all be on speed-dial. You’ll just have to think of a person, they’ll be talking to you. It’ll be like, wup .... getting a call here.
KRAMER: Hey, it’s Newman. (to ‘mental phone’) Hey, how you doing, Newman?
Jerry begins mouthing ‘I’m not here’
Yes. But the Secret Service would soon be knocking on your door.
Got any thoughts on this?
....Damn....could be dangerous....
...How do you censure your thoughts before you have it?.....

Vey dangerous. lol
Just for you!
Oh, great, that’s all I need. Like the stuff I decide to type isn’t getting me in enough trouble already!
No. I do see your point, but every Dem I know just cannot shut the heck up. I was referring to actual medical coma patients. What thoughts would we see?
Boy if it had been more timely Terry Schiavo may still be alive....
Yes it would be interesting and how about someone who just medically ‘died’ would it pick up anything?
“Twitter messages are so short - a 140-character limit - that you have to really think about what you want to say.”
I don’t twitter or tweet or whatever it is, but I have run across some of them on the web and it didn’t look to me like a lot of thinking was involved.
