Philippe
Vigand
(From Arcade publishing, Inc): "On a July morning ten
years ago, Philippe Vigand, a young, vigorous, handsome
publishing executive, was walking to work when he heard
a "gigantic explosion." Strangely, nobody else seemed
to have heard it...for the simple reason that it was in
his head. For two months he lay in a coma. When he awoke,
he was completely paralyzed, but his mind was intact.
He was suffering from locked-in syndrome. After months
of hospital care, Philippe was brought home..."
Philippe and his wife Stephane live with their 3 children
in Paris. Together they wrote Only the Eyes Say Yes
(Putain de Silence in France). Philippe wrote
his portion of the book using his Eyegaze System.
The book has been translated into 11 languages with
major distribution in 14 countries. |
