I heard about that on the way to work this AM, and can't wait until they can find a practical aplication for this knowlege.

There is also a device that I've seen (very succesfully) for stutterers, that they wear in their ear. It's expensive (aobut $6k), but I've seen it change lives.

I saw that on TV. It was some sort of audio feedback device and the guy was stuttering and when they turned it on, he suddenly stopped. I have an old friend that has a pronounced stutter and I mentioned that to him.

Exactly. And they work exactly like they say they do. Like I said, using them has dramatically changed the lives of those involved.
