Roger - France

French physicist Roger Carayon was referred to Control Bionics by Prof. Stephen Hawking's graduate assistant, after he was diagnosed with ALS. Roger was immediately able to use NeuroSwitch to control his Assistive Technology and computer programs even though they were all naturally in French.

Roger and and his daughter Sophie, also a physicist began innovating applications for the system.

His most spectacular application involved using NeuroSwitch to control his electronic design software, enabling him to develop circuitboard plans for radios and other devices which Sophie used to build the hardware.

Roger was able to correspond globally over the internet, using an online translater to convert his French emails into the languages of his readers.

A few days after first acquiring NeuroSwitch, Roger used it to send this email to us:

"Cher Peter,
"Votre vitalité est telle que j'ai mis deux jours à m'en remettre, elle n'a d'égale que votre enthousiasme. Nous avons été très heureux de vous accueillir chez nous et très touchés par votre gentillesse. J'utilise avec bonheur NeuroSwitch tous les jours depuis Jeudi et durant cinq heures minimum, en fait ce sont mes yeux qui me limitent. Le système fonctionne dès la mise sous tension et ne nécessite aucune retouche de la journée. ...
"Très cordialement, et à "bientôt.
"Roger"

"Dear Peter,
"You vitality is such that I took nearly two days to recover, it is only matched by your enthusiasm. We have been very happy to welcome you at our place and very touched by your kindness. I happily use NeuroSwitch every day, since Thursday, and five hours minimum every day, in fact only my eyes limit me. The system functions as soon as it is put to work, and it does not need any adjustment throughout the day.
"Very cordially, and more soon.
"Roger"
