Space Invaders

Caption: The doctors with joysticks (Eric Leuthardt, seated, and Mathew Smyth, standing) engage in a game of Space Invaders while biomedical engineer Daniel Moran looks on behind the computer screen. Computer science and engineering graduate student Tim Blakely (behind Leuthardt) and biomedical engineering graduate student Nick Anderson (to Smyth's left) are amused. This team, with Dr. John Zempel of the WUSTL Medical School, enabled a 14-year-old to play a two-dimensional video game using signals from his brain.
