A paralyzed person in Australia has done a unique feat of tweeting with the help of his thinking. This amazing work has been made possible by the small brain implant winning the paperclip. Philip O’Keefe, 62, who lives in Australia, has been suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for the last seven years. Because of this, he cannot move his upper limbs. In his tweet through his thoughts, he wrote that he has done these keystrokes only with his own thinking. He used the Twitter handle of Synchron CEO Thomas Oakesley to tweet this.
The brain computer interface ‘Stenrod’ device, made by California-based neurovascular and bioelectronics medicine company Synchron, is designed for people like Philip. So that he can think and work on the computer. According to media reports, according to the information received, this type of patient using this device had a clicking accuracy of 93% and he can type up to 14 to 20 characters every minute. The special thing is that there is no need to do brain surgery for this implant.
Philip says when he first heard about this technique, he found it very interesting. However, it requires a lot of practice. But once you practice, everything becomes very easy. All they have to do is think about where to click, whether it’s banking or whether it’s shopping or sending an e-mail, everything becomes very easy.
