As a result of Lou Gehrig's

The technology may reach well beyond aid for the disabled. The United
States Airforce is also experimenting with brain wave activated controls at the
Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
The technology could one day benefit pilots. They could change radio
channels, for example, while their hands and feet are occupied with more
important tasks.
But back in New York, Carl Schaeffer has more down to earth reasons for
wanting to see this technology succeed.
It may be ensuring that he will have a voice in the future.
