Brainwave reading computer could change stroke recovery

No idea what the objective damage diagnosis was prior to the intervention. Mine would be very unlikely to work with most of my motor cortex dead and a good chunk of my premotor cortex dead.

A preliminary study in Australia has shown the promise of brain-computer interfaces in treating stroke victims. The research, conducted by the University of Adelaide, showed that a stroke victim showed a 36% percent improvement in a stroke-damaged hand, after 5 hours of treatment. Brain-computer interfaces are devices which can translate signals from the brain into computer commands. Professor Derek Abbott told Dan Damon how it works.
