Patients without the ability to use their limbs, type, pick up a pen, or even speak may now have a new way to communicate. Researchers in France have developed a system that allows users to write in cursive on a video monitor using only their eyes. By developing this method for translating eye movements into writing on a screen, Dr. Jean Lorenceau of the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris has advanced the possibilities for stroke sufferers, spinal injury patients, and people with degenerative diseases who have no other means to communicate.
