GUIDE DOGS begone! How about an intelligent trained rat who is able to control your wheelchair by its thoughts as you navigate the streets? Or guide machinery in mine search and rescues? The Japanese are developing robotics to assist the elderly. What about our rat-machine interface? The examples are obviously getting silly, but I hope my point is made. We are, as always, limited only by our imaginations. View in LinkedIn

HELICOPTER FLOWN BY THOUGHT ALONE. This is a small step from patients movibg robotic limbs but is added to complete the dots. The possibilties between numerious species' brains and machines are at the least, mindblowing. View in LinkedIn

BRAIN HYBRIDS: Ways of knowing are likely different between species. A cockroach will have a different sensate and problem solving set of skills than a baboon or an octopus. A bat and a whale rely on radar signals to inform them of their world. Homing pigeons have some GPS machinery. The household cat has a brain partly dominated by its olfactory system. We are within sight of the first deep understanding of these skills. What if an octopus and a beetle were paired to solve simple problems? Open source begone. NewThink by brain interspecies hybrids is a new and likely zany supercomputer. View in LinkedIn

STEM CELLS FOR STROKE, new advance on recovery of memory deficits following stroke in mice following stem cell treatment. Six stroke patients in a different recent study showed modest improvements when injected with a different brew of stem cells, but no adverse effects. The key issue is what type of stem cells are being used and that is at the heart of this mouse study. http://lnkd.in/Uecb7J View in LinkedIn

BACK PAIN reduced in 80% of longer term sufferers with disk problems after 100 day course of antibiotics in a clinical trail. Lumbar surgeries have a high rate of undesirable repeat surgeries, meaning the first intervention was not successful. Back pain is notoriously hard to treat without side effects. This finding of an infection as the root cause in a high percentage is remarkable, and great news for patients. http://lnkd.in/VTAV2P View in LinkedIn
