It's a thought, but I kinda of doubt it'd work in my case.  The
tremors are irregular and of really widely varying amplitude.  Think
of trying to filter an AM radio signal, removing noise from many
simultaneous lightning storms at various distances.  Yes, it does
sometimes mean I'm also not able to type, as well, but fortunately
it's rarely *that* bad.  I'd go for one of those implants that allows
direct-from-brain input, but I'm pretty sure the health insurance
wouldn't pay for it ;-)
