– From JZ Knight:
Wen-Chun Liao, RSE’s Taiwan coordinator submitted this excellent story on which detials why this is evidence on the power of focused mind on technology.
Does this support the teachings of Ramtha that our minds do create/affect matter?
Absolutely.

– “Paralyzed man uses his mind to control robotic arm through neuroprosthetics”
“Thirteen years after gang violence paralyzed Erik Sorto from the neck down, he sat with Matrix-like wires jutting from his head and willed a nearby robotic arm to bring beer to his thirsty lips.

As Sorto visualized the satisfying action, algorithms interpreted neurons firing in a part of the brain that processes intentions and then instructions zipped to a 2.6-foot robotic arm attached to a neighboring table. Within seconds, history was made. Sorto is the first person in the world to use chips implanted in his posterior parietal cortex to fluidly move a robotic appendage.

In a video recording of the Dec. 1 accomplishment, Sorto raised his bearded face to the heavens and closed his eyes in jubilation as he yelled, ‘Aaaahhh! Finally! Yeah. Oh man, that is awesome. That was awesome! That’s so awesome.’

Sorto, 34 from North Hollywood, later explained how liberating it was to take big gulps of Modelo, his favorite beer, at his own pace.”

Results of the clinical trial were published this week in Science journal. The California Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Keck School of Medicine of USC and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, set out to test the safety and effectiveness of implanting arrays of microelectrodes into the posterior parietal cortex, a completely new procedure. The study was partially funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense,” quoting Zen Vuong, Pasadena Star-News.

– “Woman Controls a Fighter Jet Sim Using Only Her Mind”
“All Jan Sheuermann wanted to do was feed herself some chocolate. She ended up piloting the world’s most expensive fighter jet.

Sheuermann is quadriplegic, unable to move her arms and legs due to a neurodegenerative disease. So when scientists from the military’s future-science arm Darpa and the University of Pittsburgh’s Human Engineering Research Laboratories approached her in 2012 about plugging her brain into a robotic arm, the most she hoped for was the ability to serve herself some candy. Two years later, towards the end of her stint as a neuromotor guinea pig, the scientists changed the game. Instead of connecting Sheuermann’s brain interface to a robotic arm, they connected her to a flight simulator. She’d use the same neural connections to pilot an F-35 Joint Strike Fighter—the military’s next-gen attack jet. And despite the fact that the agency unveiled the flight at a February 24 security conference called “Future of War, Darpa officials insist Sheuermann is not a test pilot for a new generation of mind-controlled drone,” quoting Nick Stockton, WIRED.com.
