Israeli scientists devise way for disabled to control computers, wheelchairs by sniffing

Israeli scientists devise way for disabled to control computers, wheelchairs by sniffing: The severely disabled, including those 'locked in' to their bodies as a result of accidents or disease, may soon have a new way to communicate and move around. By sniffing in and out through their noses, more than a dozen quadriplegics were able to control computers that allowed them to write and to guide a wheelchair, the team reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
