For the past 30 years, researchers have been experimenting with hooking a human brain up to a computer. They call it a brain-computer interface (or BCI), and they have been making progress over the past 10 years. In 1999, doctors were able to place a BCI in the brain of a man who had suffered a stroke. The BCI interpreted his "thoughts" so that he could use a mouse to move a cursor around on a computer screen to type out his words. This device allowed the man to "speak" with his family and friends even after the stroke had damaged most of his brain function. In 2004, doctors placed a BCI in the brain of a paralyzed man, allowing him to use a mouse to move a cursor. He could also type on a keyboard and play video games. He could even operate a robotic arm. This leap in technology will allow future scientists combine their knowledge of the human body with technology.
