Email This Show To A Colleague

Publication Date: 12/08/06.
Show Notes:
This show highlights the marvels of bioelectrical engineering for people with spinal cord injuries. Dr. Richard Caselli reported in Research Reports and Clinical Perspective in September’s Clinical Neurology News on the wonders of the brain-computer interface (BCI) from resent research by Dr. Leigh Hochberg published in Nature: Patients using their thoughts could control the cursor on the computer screen!
The ‘instrument’ of brain, plus microelectrode array plus computer interface is established, and it looks like we are close to being able to say that may be limited only by the technology behind the machines taking orders from the ‘interface.’ Listen and learn the remarkable physical and creative tasks a quadriplegic patient was able to accomplish by ‘thinking his intentions’ into being.
