Ofir Arad posted a blog postControl devices with the mind
In a jaw-dropping feat of engineering, electronics turn a person's thoughts into commands for a robot. Using a brain-computer interface technology pioneered by University of Minnesota biomedical engineering professor Bin He, several young people have learned to use their thoughts to steer a flying robot around a gym, making it turn, rise, dip, and even sail through a ring.The technology may someday allow people robbed of speech and mobility by neurodegenerative diseases to regain function by…See More
Ofir Arad replied to Joanne Wechsler's discussion Ataluren"Does somebody knows anything about the effects of Ataluren on cognition?"
Ofir Arad replied to Char Burke's discussion Elevated ALTSGOT"The liver enzymes are very similar to muscle enzymes, the liver enzymes analysis is not designed to be done with other muscle enzymes in the blood. In DMD the muscle enzymes are very elevated in the blood so the result of the liver enzymes analysis…"

Ofir Arad replied to Alissa's discussion Confused: Shouldn't a blood test and a full array show DMD?"As Carrie says mutations after exon 63 can explain the developmental delay. A mutation after exon 63 causes the lack of expression of all the isoforms of dystrophyn including dp71 that is important for the the brain development. You can find a…"
