New Hope for Lou Gehrig disease Victims and Paralyzed Victims

There was a famous scientist (neurologist) named Scot and he got Lou Gehrig's disease.
In this program Scott is working on an experiment. Scot's brain is covered with a BCI cap with a dish full of electrodes. There is gel in it. The gel connects brain signals wiht letters so that Scott can communicate! Scott's brain sel;ects a letter mentally adn then the computer provides a voice interface which relates the work he creates.
Scott says:"When I see a letter I want, my brain sends out a signal."
Scott says "The neuron cap has given me back my life."He can now communicate with his wife.
He is even continuing his scientific research now.
what do yuo think of this research? would you ask your family or friend to try it if needed?
