"Last month, researchers at Brown University reported on the technology's success in a 25-year-old quadriplegic from Massachusetts.
After electrodes were implanted in his brain, the man was able to read e-mail, play video games, turn on lights, and change channels or adjust the volume on a TV.
The UW researchers are one of a handful of groups that have had success this year in implanting electrodes on the surface of the brain, said Daofen Chen, program director for neuro circuit research at NIH's neurological disorders and stroke institute.
"This (the UW work) is a significant development," Chen said."
