Sniff Controlled Wheelchair

Image of two cartoon lemons, one cut in half, with 70's font around reading 'Scratch and Sniff'"Scientists have developed a device that allows people with severe disabilities to control a wheelchair by sniffing. Researchers from Israel have also used it to help patients who are completely paralysed to communicate ..... The team said it allowed paralysed people to communicate, in one woman's case for the first time in 10 years."

Read the rest over at the BBC. Thanks to Mike Taylor at Excitim and Dream-Technology for the link.
