The
Wall St. Journal published an article about a scientific breakthrough that will allow disabled
people to “write” with their eyes. Notice, he has them writing in cursive, not
print. I’m guessing because it’s easier to keep the flow going.
Here's the actual reason they did it that way (I'm directly quoting a news-article that interviewed the doctor) — "Cursive writing is continuous, curved, and smooth, just as pursuit eye movements are, so [these] eye movements should be suitable for this activity.” — http://bodyodd.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/06/13109323-unable-to-speak-a-few-can-now-write-with-their-eyes?lite
