this is truly incredible!  Not only did the woman who was unable to speak or move her arms and legs for 18 years due to a stroke able to use her brain signals to control a computer, An algorithm translated her brain signals into text at a rate of 78 words per minute, five times faster than prior brain-computer interfaces!
