1.   A team of neurologists has developed a device that allows paralyzed people to communicate through a computer without having to move a muscle.

2.   Devices for the disabled included sophisticated eye-tracking devices that let paralyzed people pick commands from computer menus just by looking at them.

3.   Implants that amplify weak signals traveling along the spinal cord might one day allow some paralyzed people to stand or even walk.

4.   Researchers believe that more fully developed systems might someday help paralyzed people regain motor function that has been lost as the result of a disease or an accident.

5.   Such programs might in the future help paralyzed people use their thoughts to control a computer.

6.   That operation implants a tiny device in the brain that captures its electrical impulses so that paralyzed people can move a computer cursor.

7.   The initial goal would be to help paralyzed people stand and exercise their legs.

8.   The research is generating excitement because it could eventually be used to help severely paralyzed people, neuroscientists said.

9.   For more than a decade, some paralyzed people have communicated with a computer program that translates their coded blinking into letters on a screen.

10.   If doctors could get past the barrier, people with some types of brain damage might regain their cognitive abilities and paralyzed people might walk again.
