Jan Scheuermann is paralyzed from the neck down, but with the help of a robotic arm controlled by her brain, she's now able to pour herself a glass of water to drink. Lancet Medical Journal ran a study using brain implants to control the robotic arm. Two sensors were placed in the motor cortex of her brain. Pulses of electricity inside her brain are translated into commands for the robot arm, which includes a bending elbow and wrist. In about two weeks, Scheuermann perfected the use of her new robot limb. Scheuermann has progressively lost control over her body since she was diagnosed with spinocerebellar degeneration 13 years ago. Radical Stem Cell Treatment Saves Man's Sight. A year ago, Canadian Taylor Binns was slowly going blind after developing a rare and painful eye disorder that affected his corneas.
Today, he's driving, reading and living a normal life because of a revolutionary stem-cell treatment completed by a team of doctors at Toronto Western Hospital. "Everything you could do before kind of gets taken away day by day, and it just got worse and worse," he told CTV News this week in a video update, which made Reddit's front page. For two years, Binns faced countless scans, tests and disheartening misdiagnoses before doctors of Toronto's University Health Network identified Binns' mysterious disease as Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency.
Google Glass Developer Conference Has Ultra-Strict Rules. Excited to hear about what will happen at next week's first official developer conference for Google Glass?
Good luck. Google is requiring attendees to sign a restrictive NDA that bars them from revealing anything about it. Google's non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for the Google Glass Foundry, a two-day developer event taking place in San Francisco and New York City next week, explicitly forbids developers from talking to the media or posting publicly about anything they do there.
