Tongue-controlled wheelchair could offer a faster way for quadriplegics to get around

Researchers from Georgia Tech have been working on a tongue-based control system since 2005, and in their latest trial runs, they’re finding that it’s a significantly more accurate way to issue commands than one existing and popular method.
