An Inductive Tongue Computer Interface for Control of Computers and Assistive Devices

This letter introduces a new inductive tongue computer interface to be used by disabled people for environmental control. The interface demands little effort from the user, provides a basis for an invisible interface, and has potential to allow a large number of commands to be facilitated
