Hope for Stephen Hawking? Completely 'locked-in' patients can communicate Wed, 01 Feb 2017 | Patients with no control over their body answer questions as a computer interprets brain signals.
Wow! I remember that challenge. My wife took it.... ... but I didn't. I am a Theist and I would also like to see supposed Atheist Stephen Hawking Ph. D. challenge evangelical faith healers such as Evangelist Todd White.... to see if prayer can improve his condition. Chapter 13 of Stephen Hawking's Universe was so brilliantly written that I have been wondering for years if perhaps Dr. Hawking is a closet Theist? Richard Dawkins Ph. D's claim to be an Atheist is obviously not true...... he is at minimum an Agnostic...... what he stated regarding the possibility of alien life evolving and being involved in evolution on earth...... proves that he is not a true Atheist. http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...richard-dawkins-ph-d-aliens-seeded-earth.html
Motor neuron disease is easily fixed by observing that the motor neurons are merely feeling the nervous system, yes? this means that therapy through these five senses will lead to the nervous system healing itself through the 'right type of stimulus.' this could be where the right colours are observed to calm then stimulate the system, this could be when gentle sounds are used before rigorous sounds to stimulate the hearing system. In effect, the world of someone with m.n.d. is a dull one. with electrotherapy, or, maybe ingesting a lot of headache tablets, or other brain stimulating medication would gently calm the brain, then 'jack it up?'
Artificial Intelligence Robots Aiding in Battle Against ALS... Artificial Intelligence Robots Aiding in Battle Against Crippling Nerve Disease August 10, 2017 — Artificial intelligence robots are turbocharging the race to find new drugs for the crippling nerve disorder ALS, commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease. The condition attacks and kills nerve cells controlling muscles, leading to weakness, paralysis and, ultimately, respiratory failure.
