New hope for brain injury patients
Researchers in Pennsylvania say they may have developed a new method for helping those victims of traumatic brain injury. A massive project funded through the same group that paid for the development of the Internet, DARPA, is leading to significant insights that could result in the creation of a “prosthetic brain.” Imagine if those who have suffered from serious brain injury could recover their memories with the implantation of a simple device! Scientists are already on track to achieving that, using technology that is currently in use for epileptic patients.
