Breaking the silence: brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for communication and motor control.
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) allow control of computers or external devices with regulation of brain activity alone. Invasive BCIs, almost exclusively investigated in animal models using implanted electrodes in brain tissue, and noninvasive BCIs using electrophysiological recordings in humans are described. Clinical applications were reserved with few exceptions for the noninvasive approach:...
متن کاملUsing Motor Imagery to Control Brain-Computer Interfaces for Communication
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) as assistive devices are designed to provide access to communication, navigation, locomotion and environmental interaction to individuals with severe motor impairment. In the present paper, we discuss two approaches to communication using a non-invasive BCI via recording of neurological activity related to motor imagery. The first approach uses modulations of the...

" Like all good memoirs it has not been emasculated by considerations of good taste. " That was Peter Medawar's verdict on The Double Helix, Jim Watson's ebullient succès de scandale. Watson's exuberant style, let it be said right away, is not Maurice Wilkins's. He and Francis Crick were outraged by Watson's account — now a modern classic, at number seven in the American Modern Library's roll o...
متن کاملIdeomotor silence: the case of complete paralysis and brain-computer interfaces (BCI).
The paper presents some speculations on the loss of voluntary responses and operant learning in long-term paralysis in human patients and curarized rats. Based on a reformulation of the ideomotor thinking hypothesis already described in the 19th century, we present evidence that instrumentally learned responses and intentional cognitive processes extinguish as a consequence of long-term complet...
متن کاملMasturbation: breaking the silence.
“It saved me.” This emphatic, unrestrained declaration was the response of our young black South African driver to my query about masturbation, as we passed the time discussing HIV en route to Soweto on an AIDS-related field trip. Although he had a steady girlfriend, he earnestly believed that the sexual outlet provided through masturbation enabled him to avoid seeking multiple partners, which ...
