Paralyzed and unable to speak after a stroke, Cathy Hutchinson was trapped inside her mind, only communicating with the outside world through her eyes. Then she heard about an experiment called BrainGate at Brown University that hoped to allow immobilized patients to control robotic limbs with their thoughts. But can what sounds like science fiction eventually transform the lives of quadriplegics? And could it help Cathy take control of her life?

Jessica Benko tells the story of a radical new technology, a pioneering group of researchers, and one woman's effort to transcend her condition and the body itself.

"She had a conscious, lucid mind incapable of action."

Commenté aux États-Unis le 23 décembre 2012

Achat vérifié

Cathy had had a massive, brain stem stroke fourteen years ago. She is paralyses except for her eyes and some muscles of her face. Imagine, if you can bear it, that itch you cannot scratc, that longing you cannot voice, the loneliness of a life devoid of perceived touch. To be aware of all the signals of one's body with no ability to act upon them seems the height of cruelty. Perhaps I had not realized sensation would persist into paralysis. One could not even choose to pop a pill into oblivion without outside agency.

The experiments of Brainbox aim to someday restore the ability of the body to respond to volition with the aid of an implant. The story of this research is fascinating. The future applications the stuff of sci-fi. The data paints a panoply of human differential in neural structure. One thing missing is the new research suggesting that movement commences milliseconds before conscious intent. How this would impact the research is intriguing.

What remains is this fascinating woman persisting in the face of many of our worst nightmares. In a world in which one researcher found that a large class of students would all receive a guaranteed safe brain implant to play video games faster, the future seems to be speeding to us at light speed. This is a fascinating glimpse.

Fascinating

This was a fascinating look at one person's encounter with the highest of high-tech in a very personal setting. My only complaint is that this is too short; I would love more insight into the ethical questions raised by this technology, the personal insights of using this technology to accomplish tasks that her own body could no longer do, and more insight into the technology itself and the processes used to develop this incredible system.

This is a very important book

I am involved in a similar project on the West Coast with a young man as a subject. We have used this book as a way to explain and investigate the history of brain computer interface and the project from the subjects point of view. This is the only book or publication I have found that does give some insight into the experience of the subject. Since she had a positive experience this has been especially heartening and encouraging to all of us. This surgery and the process of learning to operate a robotic arm with only thoughts is groundbreaking and exciting and holds so much promise for the future. All subjects involved in this type of research are heroes and she was one of the first. Thanks for writing this important book from the perspective of the subject in a very complicated and involved research study.

Inspiring and well-written true story of a courageous woman

Commenté aux États-Unis le 29 mars 2013

Achat vérifié

A heathy young mother suddenly loses her ability to move or talk - but her mind reminds lucid. For decades she has been trapped in her non-functioning body. But far from sinking into depression, she exploits any chance at communicating with others and volunteers to participate in experiments which might help others in her condition - but probably not herself. Food for thought.

This book about a young woman who developed paralysis and her struggles with survival and life. Having had tumors inside my own spinal cord, I was particularly interested in the struggles outlined in this book. What cocourage. This is a great, uplifting story.
