A woman who had suffered severe brain injury
in a car accident and was in a vegetative state
managed to communicate just by using her thoughts,
say scientists from the UK and Belgium. They
scanned her brain and discovered that she was
able to understand verbal commands - she could
even visualize herself playing tennis when verbally
triggered to do so by the scientists.
