The ergonomic aspects of the design of a typewriter system for quadriplegic patients are discussed. The typewriter is operated by moving a light source fixed to the head of the patient, so that a lightspot can be projected on the control panel. The control panel consists of a matrix of characters, each of which is equipped with a light sensitive element. It is shown how the character arrangement, the geometry of the lightspot and panel and the way of generating a type command were optimised. Some preliminary results obtained from three normal subjects and from two quadriplegic patients are reported. Preliminary clinical experience with the device is encouraging.

Mathematical and statistical models have played important roles in neuroscience, especially by describing the electrical activity of neurons recorded individually, or collectively across large networks. As the field moves forward rapidly, new challenges are emerging. For maximal effectiveness, those working to advance computational neuroscience will need to appreciate and exploit the complementary strengths of mechanistic theory and the statistical paradigm.
