Brain implants help the paralysed turn thoughts into text

Researchers have devised a way that could have a major impact on the lives of people who are paralysed neck down. A new electrode array system called BrainGate2 allows those with neurologic disease or injuries communicate through unmodified computer tablets.

The system uses an array of micro-electrodes which are implanted into the brain which decode the neural signals associated with the intention to move a limb, it was reported.

Three people paralysed from the neck down have been able to use the unmodified tablets to text friends, browse the internet and stream music with BrainGate2. The system identifies the intentions of the person to move a virtual mouse that is wirelessly paired to the tablet.

While brain-computer interface technology has existed for a few years now, BrainGate2 allows users to navigate a completely original device, which is unmodified and has no special features, making regular off-the-shelf devices of use to the paralysed people.

A New Way to Treat Vertigo

Do you suffer from chronic vertigo or dizziness? In severe cases, your doctor can prescribe you a medication, though this comes with a host of problems. Thankfully, there is a special treatment that you can try and it is free and safe enough to practice at home. 

 

Before we get into technique let's take a closer look at what vertigo is. Vertigo isn't just dizziness. It is a debilitating condition that can lead to life-threatening consequences, like higher risks of falls and car accidents. People who have experienced vertigo report that everything about them moves and spins. They will be unable to drive and walk and will have to hold onto a wall. It is a terrifying experience. 

Thankfully, otolaryngologist Dr. says that this special method will stamp vertigo right out when the patient starts to experience its first signs. But what causes vertigo? It usually stems from a complex inner ear issue where a build-up of particles start shifting upon movement, making the sufferer feel an intense spinning sensation. Recognizing this, Dr. realized that by using a twisting and turning motion she was able to release the built-up particles, alleviating the symptoms of dizziness. She then developed an exercise for her patients which anyone can do at home.

Here's How:
1. Get down on your knees and sit on the backs of your heels.
2. Tilt your head back with your eyes aimed at the ceiling. If your dizziness increases momentarily, don't worry.
3. While on your knees, put hands on the floor in front of you and let your head hang loose with your chin slightly tucked in.
4. Turn your head to either your right or left elbow depending on which ear you need to treat.
Bear in mind that it's important you achieve the right form.
