Paralyzed Man Orders Beer Using Brain Implant… First Words in Months!
“I want a beer” … a simple and direct request, but a damn amazing one because it was uttered by a paralyzed man who’s communicating for the first time in months, thanks to a life-changing brain implant.
In a testament to the power of science, and beer — researchers in Switzerland outfitted a 36-year-old ALS patient with a chip in his brain, which allows him to spell out sentences one letter at a time, and he used it to order up a cold one.
On top of a brew, the guy also asked caregivers for a head massage from his mother, curry and soup fed through tubes, and wanted to rock out to the band Tool. In his words, he wanted it “loud.”
The good folks doing the amazing research over at the Wyss Center in Geneva say it’s the first instance of someone with no voluntary muscle movement being able to communicate.
The ALS patient, who consented to the brain implant back in 2018 when he could still use eye movement to communicate, is now completely paralyzed. The chip allows him to signal “yes” or “no” to a series of letters and spell out commands at a rate of one character per minute.
That means it took him more than 10 minutes to order a beer, but we’re thinking he’d say it was well worth the wait.
Meanwhile, another source says among the few requests he painstakingly communicated was a desire to listen to a Tool album (and loudly).
Alison Brie Nude Sex Scene From Her Cooking Show
The video below appears to feature Alison Brie in a nude sex scene from her new cooking show.
It certainly was predictable that Alison Brie’s cooking show would devolve into her serving up her fury pie and finishing off with a cream pie like this, for she is a degenerate gutter skank of the highest order and so she lacks the discipline necessary to do even the most mundane of household tasks.
Yes, all of Alison’s abilities revolve around her spreading her legs, and when she is in the kitchen it is no different… Which is certainly not appetizing… Unless of course you are French, in which case a side of gonorrhea is considered a delicacy
