Brain implant helps speech-impaired patients communicate via computer (Emory University)
Emory University neuroscientist Philip R. Kennedy, M.D., and Emory
neurosurgeon Roy E. Bakay, M.D., have developed an electrode brain implant that
is allowing speech-impaired patients to communicate through a computer.
