Wearing Glabenator, people suffering from paralysis can communicate through simple movements of just two muscles in their forehead. Patients simply select set messages from menu that are delivered through a recorder and speaker. Glabenator detects signals from the movement of muscles above the eyebrows through a computer. The $ 35 communication system can also be used by pilots to maneuver high-tech combat aircrafts.
