So sorry to hear about this! I hope she recovers from it. I did a quick google search on this and found a few companies who are using eye tracking to communicate, generally using duration of eye gaze (and not blinking) to activate. Here are a few: http://www.tobii.com/en/assist... http://www.eyegaze.com/eye-tra... There may be others as well.

Sony Ericsson Develops Contact Headphones 173

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday September 21, 2009 @03:30PM from the sounds-like-another-point-of-failure dept.

TechnologyResource writes "Sony Ericsson has just introduced the MH907 headphones. The headphones will pause or play your music based on contact; eliminating the use of a pause or stop button. Removing one ear bud will pause the music. Removing both ear buds will stop the music. Both ear buds have to be in your ear to play the music. According to Sony Ericsson, this will allow you to 'play your music and answer phone calls just by inserting the buds into your ear or taking them out.'"

These icy conditions (Earth's oceans frozen completely with ice more than two kilometers thick) ended violently under extreme greenhouse conditions and triggered the evolution of multicellular animal life. The Snowball Earth theory was previously assumed rather than tested and challenges long-held assumptions regarding the limits of global change.

For more on the theory see snowballearth.org and of course wikipedia"
