Medical Aid Beyond Expectation
The
latest development of brain computer interface technology offers new hope for
improving the lives of quadriplegics. To
illustrate, Jan Scheuerman, 52, has been paralyzed from the neck down, and had
needed a wheelchair and an attendant all the time for more than 13 years. After
watching a video about BCI research by professors and neuroscientist at the
University of Pittsburgh, Jan signed up for the research. She was required to
undergo a brain surgery to implant electronic chips in her brain. The hips were
then connected to a mind controlled robotic arm through a computer that ran a
complez algorithm. The algorithm interpreted the brain signals, directing the
arm to move. In short, this biomedical achievement is truly a blessing for
quadriplegics.
