The Future Of Brain Computer Interfaces
There are numerous successful tests where brain implant therapies for people paralyzed by spinal cord injury or other neurological damage could restore some movement. Governments could outright use this technology to control the actions of people remotely. Governments around the world are still struggling to come up with proper regulations for them due to how rapidly the technology is developing.

There's this misconception that there will be fewer of these new jobs.
That's actually not the case. There are new jobs, there are different types of jobs.

[Dr. Ayanna Howard] There are of course some industries that will be impacted by A.I. in terms of labor workforce being diminished, but there are some industries that don't have the workforce to sustain it, and so that disconnect, that's where A.I. can fit in very nicely.

To disrupt Domino's, Zume uses machine learning to try and forecast how much pizza people want, what kind, and when. It crunches dozens of different variables...location, day of week, weather, what's on TV, past ordering trends,and then predicts how many Sgt. Pepperonis, San Francisco will want on a Tuesday, for example.

Bee venom is a cancer killer
|
Sam Wickline has invented a nano device that's smaller than a virus engineered atom-by-atom. His hunter killer robots are designed to travel by the billions in the bloodstream. They're pre-programmed by a doctor to seek out specific types of cancer cells and then destroy them with none of the side effects associated with current drug therapies. |

what is inside the carpal tunnel there are nine different flexor tendons
four superficial ones for deep ones the flexor pollicis long as of course and most importantly in this case the median nerve here you see a cross-section and a picture of in this case to be honest it's a rat but the flexor tendons and in between those are also a few structures and that is connective tissue it's a combination of synovium but also a structure called officially the sub synovial connective tissue and it's in between the flexor tendons and it provides nutrition to the flexor tendons but also a gliding surface because of the flexor tendons have to glide and this structure is this connective tissue you can see on the ultrasound. http://istop.org/papers/Acupuncture.pdf |

Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic prosthetics inspired by nature's own designs. Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Lab's Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk that's both technical and deeply personal — with the help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED stage.

Bio robotics
Bio robotics is an interdisciplinary science that combines the fields of biomedical engineering, cybernetics, and robotics to develop new technologies that integrate biology with mechanical systems to develop more efficient communication, alter genetic information, and create machines that imitate biological systems.

SKIN:
Artificial “Electronic Skin” Could Warn Humans of Impending Danger Researchers at the University of Connecticut and University of Toronto have developed artificial skin that could give its wearer — robotic or human — superhuman capabilities. The stretchable skin is equipped with multifunctional sensors that could sense a strong magnetic field or changes in pressure.

We're Finally Understanding How We Can Repair Spinal Cord Injuries
Aug 1, 2017 - The new method involves cutting out the original sensory nerve cells from the root and planting the root deeper in the spinal cord, in an area called the dorsal horn, which is filled with more sensory neurons that don't normally connect directly to sensory roots. ( 2017 Frontiers in Neurobiology. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2017.00358/full) |
Can a severed spinal cord be repaired?
In a spinal cord injury, a person remains paralyzed because the cord's axons, the long cables that link one nerve cell to another, do not regenerate when crushed or severed. ... For decades, scientists simply thought mammalian spinal cords did not have the ability to repair axons. (1997) Can spinal cord damage be reversed? Unfortunately, there's no way to reverse damage to the spinal cord. But researchers are continually working on new treatments, including prostheses and medications that may promote nerve cell regeneration or improve the function of the nerves that remain after a spinal cord injury. (2017) Can the spinal cord regenerate and heal itself? Damage to the spinal cord rarely heals because the injured nerve cells fail to regenerate. The regrowth of their long nerve fibers is hindered by scar tissue and molecular processes inside the nerves. ... In contrast, the neurons in the brain and spinal cord do not have this ability. (2015) Why does the spinal cord not repair itself? Many organs and tissues in the body can recover after injury without intervention. Unfortunately, some cells of the central nervous system are so specialized that they cannot divide and create new cells. As a result, recovery from a brain or spinal cord injury is much more difficult. |
