DURABLE IMPLANTS. “Two monkeys with brain implants have steered wheelchairs using only their minds, researchers said Thursday, in another step forward for a field seeking to mobilize people with paralysis. And the brain implants that made the mind-to-computer interface possible have lasted in the monkeys for seven years.” https://lnkd.in/dQvunCh View in LinkedIn

MEDICAL USES. “BrainGate that allows fully paralyzed patients to control devices with their thoughts. BrainGate works by inserting a small chip, studded with about 100 needlelike wires—a high-tech brush—into the part of the neocortex controlling movement. These motor signals are fed to an external computer that decodes them and passes them along to external robotic devices.” http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

HACKING BRAIN GENES. “One of the most promising tools in this regard is a recently developed technique called optogenetics, which hijacks the molecular machinery of the genes found inside every neuron to directly manipulate the brain's circuitry.” http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

FOR BETTER AND FOR WORSE. "Alternative splicing of mRNA precursors provides an important means of genetic control and is a crucial step in the expression of most genes. Alternative splicing markedly affects human development, and its misregulation underlies many human diseases." https://lnkd.in/d5-PmqK View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL EARRINGS. “Technology that allows digital information to directly intervene on the brain’s neural network. By clipping an earring-shaped electrode to the top of your ear cartilage, digital data is allowed to enter your field of view. In the future year 2037, it has become a very common technology that protagonist Pollon and company use to collect information in real time or perform hacking.” https://lnkd.in/d2bbpVf View in LinkedIn

RAT DEMO. “Nicolelis is one of several leaders in the field of brain-machine interfaces. In 2014, he staged a very public exhibition of a mind-controlled exoskeleton at the 2014 soccer World Cup competition in Brazil. He's also arranged for two rats — one in North Carolina, the other in Brazil — to work together using brain implants and a computer connection.” One of many important tests. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/monkeys-brain-implants-steer-wheelchairs-using-thought-alone-n531156 View in LinkedIn
