Painting through the power of thought enabled by scientists

A computer that enables users to paint through the power of thought has been developed by scientists. To the viewer it is an accomplished semiabstract image of flowers and clouds, but in fact this painting was produced by a paralysed woman solely through the power of thought. Heide Pfützner, a former teacher from Leipzig, Germany, was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Motor Neurone Disease, yet she has managed to produce a series of the paintings with the aid of a new brain controlled computer. she has been trained to master the device that uses brain waves to take control of a palette of colours, shapes and brushes to produce digital artworks.
