- deadapostle, on 04/21/2009, -4/+60This is amazing! I didn't know that twitterers even HAD brains.
- FearlessFreep, on 04/21/2009, -0/+27So close and yet so far
Using Mind-Computer interface for Locked In patients...

- holzp, on 04/21/2009, -0/+21id luv to see tht chk naked

arg arg arg - OisinT, on 04/20/2009, -2/+12This is amazing. Locked in syndrome is truly awful for those who are fully functional in their own heads but unable to speak or move. Hopefully we are near a way they can communicate with their loved ones!
- nepeter, on 04/21/2009, -0/+7The twitter page:
http://twitter.com/uwbci
I wonder if people who need something like this could use Dasher? Or something like it.

- amabaie, on 04/20/2009, -2/+7...and in other news (2015), Twitter pulls ahead of Google and faceBook by providing the world's first mass-produced Internet Apps Brain Implant.
- uberchaoslord, on 04/21/2009, -0/+5I for one welcome our new android overlords. I would like to remind them as a twitter user I can be useful in rounding up other twitter users for work in the artificial limb factories.
- tacojohn48, on 04/21/2009, -0/+5Came here looking for this comment. Thanks
- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -1/+5Used to post verbal diarhhrea.
- PisoMojado, on 04/21/2009, -0/+4Primitive, yes, but the first baby steps toward "hive mind?"
- jcsoc, on 04/21/2009, -0/+3So, now instead of posting most of the details of your uninteresting life, you can post all of them?
- quarkde, on 04/21/2009, -0/+2Soon we'll all be connected to the Internet by brain computer interfaces and communicate thoughts to each other. I can't wait :)
- draxenato, on 04/21/2009, -0/+3Could lead to some interesting conversations if you lose concentration.
"Thank you nurse I am very comfortable...wowza, is she hot or wot ? Check out those jugs...damn, how do I switch this thing off ?" - inactive, on 04/20/2009, -1/+4We already have this, we are already there. Just no interface for twitter.
- Kyan, on 04/21/2009, -0/+3Yeah, this is incredible!
I wonder if the next step could be something like handwriting recognition? I mean I wonder if the researchers will write a program that looks at the brain's waves as a person thinks of certain letters. If those could be distinguished then the program could eventually learn read the those brain waves and type the letters into a computer.
I bet someone is already working on that...just hope he is not an evil fiend! - riyehn, on 04/21/2009, -0/+3@lckdin YEAH IM STILL LYING HERE. U? (11 minutes ago from brain)
STILL LYING HERE (about 20 hours ago from brain)
LYING HERE (10:56 PM April 20th from brain) - kalvinb, on 04/21/2009, -0/+3This isn't new technology. The computer isn't reading your thoughts, it's picking up a electronic pulse which you create by thinking about something and that translates into pushing a button. Like a phone you have to think the same thing several times to rotate through a set of letters. The computer has no idea what you're thinking, it just knows that a region of your brain is active.
Scientists have been doing this for decades. It's only "new" because you can send the messages you create through Twitter. - mabsark, on 04/21/2009, -0/+2Not a hive mind, as in queen and drones, more like a communal mind, as in all thoughts are equal.
- freezerburn666, on 04/21/2009, -1/+3was that john henry?
- Black6x, on 04/21/2009, -0/+2What? No! I was NOT looking at porn! What ever gave you that idea?
- ronintetsuro, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2"Researchers use brain interface to BOOM HEADSHOT"
- rjey, on 04/21/2009, -0/+2Wouldn't the brain interface be great for Stephen Hawking? Here is to hoping he gets better soon.
- mabsark, on 04/21/2009, -0/+2And the next step would be complete words.
- Thuktun, on 04/21/2009, -0/+2Into the Twitterverse!
- Kyan, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2Exactly! And what are words but representations of thoughts! Whoa, heavy!
- stoneyj, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1So how long until we can hack the Gibson with our brains? And how long until lazy people adopt this to be even lazier?
- troyallen069, on 04/20/2009, -2/+3I rather see a cure for these horrorable diseases
- localzuk, on 04/21/2009, -1/+2It adds a small amount of normalcy to their lives. Being able to use the same sites, take part in the same activities as everyone else.
So, my answer to your latter bit is 'Yes!!!' - Miketwo345, on 04/22/2009, -0/+1Don't ruin my sci-fi fantasies with your "facts."
- jiesa, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1Haha! Thank you for that.
- markedOne, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1"University of Wisconsin-Madison biomedical engineering doctoral student" - "think" that!
- mabsark, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1I totally agree.
- crunchnowdotcom, on 05/04/2009, -0/+1It's slow but it works i guess
- Miketwo345, on 04/22/2009, -0/+1I was hoping someone did it... cause if not I was going to have to. :)
- nepidae, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1What are thoughts if they aren't electro-chemical waves through the brain?
- hendrixlives64, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1Alternate Title: "Science Allows People to Use Their BRAINS to TWEET"
- inactive, on 04/21/2009, -2/+2***** TWITTER! ***** TWITTER! ***** TWITTER! ***** TWITTER! ***** TWITTER! ***** TWITTER!
- Chicken2nite, on 04/21/2009, -1/+1I wonder if it could recognize dignity if someone were to wear that and think of dignity... I suppose Pictionary would be pretty subjective.
- Saedar, on 04/21/2009, -1/+1Anyone else look at this and think "Hmm...Shadowrun, huh?." If not, I am going to be a very, very sad Panda...
- CVL4317, on 04/21/2009, -1/+1ok.. so i type digg.com on my browser

- darkego666, on 04/21/2009, -2/+1People use their brain when they post to Twitter?
- inactive, on 04/21/2009, -1/+0Wrong story.
- manosinistra, on 04/21/2009, -0/+0Couple that with the chair that tweets farts and you have the ultimate result of human evolution: a brain and its hole.
- sHockz, on 04/21/2009, -3/+0hmmm.....another twitter article, who saw that coming?
