Well, about a year ago I remember reading an article which I believe talked of
using EEG for tracking eye motion and hooking this up as input for a computer.
If I remember correctly, there was a handicapped individual that was
successfully using such a system for operation of a computer.

I think this article appeared in an issue of PC/Computing towards the end of
1989 or the beginning of '90, and I also believe the same issue contained an
article on VR. (I just looked at a list of VR articles I got off this news
group, and there was an article on VR in the Nov. '89 PC/Computing, so check
this issue first).  I can't really remember much more about the article, but
hopefully the above info will help some.   

Matt
