#BrainComputerInterface (BCI) #technology can help plug intractable neurological deficits, but the danger lies in their potential use in #NeuroEnhancement & #NeuroModulation. Read more in my Letter To The Editor published in The Times on 2 February.

An important step in exploring the possibilities and pitfalls of using communication BCIs for home-use in daily life by a person with ALS, done by our lab UtrechtBCI.

Check out our new publication! https://lnkd.in/eVdZsR22 The field of implanted BCI technology as a communication solution for people with severe motor impairment is developing fast. Before BCIs can be made broadly available, we need to demonstrate their real-world usability and understand their limitations. In the latest publication of the UtrechtBCI group, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, we report on seven years of unsupervised at-home use of an implanted BCI by a lady with advanced ALS. 

The future of healthcare is here with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)! This revolutionary technology is set to transform lives, with applications ranging from motor neuron disease to epilepsy and depression. With a projected $400 billion market opportunity in the U.S. alone, BCIs are expected to enable people with critical neurological conditions to regain control over their environments. Whether it’s controlling a cursor with thought or detecting early signs of a seizure, BCIs are paving the way for a new era of medical technology. Exciting times ahead as commercialization begins within the next five years! #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech #BrainComputerInterfaces #BCIs #FutureOfMedicine

🎉 Exciting News Alert! 🎉 Our latest poster publication in the Journal of Vision Development & Rehabilitation sheds light on Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation in Labyrinthine Concussion. We're thrilled to share our findings at the upcoming annual conference of COVD-OVDRA 2024 at San Francisco- USA. 👁️ Vision therapy and Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation play crucial roles in aiding concussion patients on their road to recovery. Our research underscores the importance of comprehensive care in addressing visual challenges post-concussion.Join us in exploring innovative approaches to concussion management at #COVDOVDRA2024. Together, let's advance the field of Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation and empower patients to regain visual function. #VisionTherapy #ConcussionRecovery #NeuroOptometry #OptometricResearch #VisualRehabilitation #COVD #OVDRA #JournalofVisionDevelopment #RehabilitationResearch #HealthcareInnovation #BrainInjuryAwareness 🧠👀

Age-related Macular degeneration (AMD) affects millions worldwide, but early detection can make all the difference. OxIA's advance screening technology is revolutionising AMD detection With its non-invasive approach we're one step closer to tackling this condition head- on. Why is this important? AMD often develops gradually, and by the time symptoms surface irreversible damage may have occurred. But with OxIA, early intervention becomes a reality. offering a ray of hope for preserving our previous vision. Let's spread the word and champion advancements like OxIA in the fight against AMD. Together we can raise awareness, promote regular screenings, and ultimately transform the landscape of vision care. #OxIE #Ecosystem #Ophthalmologist #Phsyicians #Optometrists #GeneralPractitioners #EarlyScreening #EarlyDetection #Prevention #PreventiveHealth #WellnessJourney #BeProactive #AgeRelatedMacularDegeneration

In honor of Healthy Vision Month, we’re highlighting a recent discovery in vision loss prevention from UVA Health School of Medicine scientists. Ambati Jayakrishna, MD, Shao-bin Wang, PhD, and colleagues have identified a potential new target to prevent the formation of abnormal tangles of blood vessels. Abnormal vessel overgrowth is typically associated with vision impairment and eye conditions such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Ambati and Wang’s new research not only deepens the medical community’s current understanding of vision loss but also opens possibilities for cost-effective and accessible treatments, avoiding drug resistance concerns found in conventional anti-VEGF therapies.

This innovative form of treatment uses light technology to help soothe sore muscles and aid in the healing process. The therapy works by emitting a specific wavelength of light that penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating cell regeneration and promoting blood circulation. https://lnkd.in/eMT2Bpau
