Day Eleven (Wednesday July 20th)

Last day of our masters is upon us...hard to believe that it's already been two years!

youtube AT for ALS
The following video tells the story of a new technology that is in the early stages to use brainwaves to control small appliances, etc...

This technology offers hope to anyone who has ALS that they may maintain more of their independence longer. Technology like Eye Gaze offers them means to communicate once they lose the ability to speak but having a piece of technology that works on their intact brainwaves is impressive!! To see how far we have come with regards to technology over the years and how someone with ALS' quality of life has improved as a result gives hope that maybe one day we will even find a cure.
