I wonder how long it will take until we scale this down for a glove like @haptx is doing. What no one mentions is these things often require large external air compressors & complex pneumatic solenoids or other expensive actuators like in the @teslasuitPotential game changer: https://t.co/lA5DvgjWKd

Theoretically if the actuators can get cheap enough electricity wise, we can have fully wireless 24/7 haptic space suits. If we can also get something like this tech going soon: https://t.co/xi26CpUm2w

I won't be happy until I have my own personal distributed FAI called R.E.G.I.S. https://t.co/1HzBKzEjPi


I'm ordering a baby carrier so I can modify it to act as a sort of ALICE-pack, and wear a computer on my back so I'm not tethered to the cloud.https://t.co/ISby7ihTacI like the pun about it being an A.L.I.C.E. pack; it's supposed to house a rudimentary conversational AI.

Trying to figure out how to record my brainwaves on the go since there is too much data to send it over even the best 5g connection, and the cost overhead is a waste.https://t.co/nR7fUudGYC


Basically embedding sensors into a cushioned helmet used to protect autistic kids from head trauma, so I can recreate studies on sensory experience https://t.co/Vy5S4rHAmA(these are called 'guardian helmets')https://t.co/CbOHSOPJZe https://t.co/ZiZPyflDOy

"They achieved this by integrating miniaturized quantum sensors into a head cast, and pairing it with a system for canceling out background magnetic fields. "https://t.co/fOg93g3id5

"Such miniaturized units could enable prolonged monitoring of chronic conditions such as epilepsy and greatly improve the end-user acceptance of BCI systems. [...] answering the questions: What is it, why is it needed, and what does it entail?"https://t.co/M6lFHgZPrz

It's funny how we used to use props for making movies, and now you can just use real technology. There's a scene in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that shows a guy's memories being wiped. It's based on a real surgical robot. https://t.co/sqT0UH9heD (spoilers) https://t.co/DHLElhwVPD https://t.co/VupcqEwhPV


There's also a scene where they're using a real brain scanning device on the market.https://t.co/kWm74M1skX https://t.co/7JLEQ1px45

"They looked for Broca's area, a key area of the frontal lobe used for language and speech production. The overlap between the brain region identified as Broca's area by DOT data and by fMRI scans was about 75 percent."https://t.co/bJ65amw5vO 😏https://t.co/Hcg1rmd02v

"had two patients [...] that were in status epilepticus when they came in, but weren't having any outward signs. This is called non-convulsive status epilepticus and without our EEG we wouldn't have been able to recognize it." https://t.co/II7BDafSfFhttps://t.co/WOX0AY8g0O

Turns out house's dog's breed is susceptible to "acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis", "progressive retinal atrophy".(& sister was put down for that 😥)So nerve damage, inflammation, and progressive eye failure?I wonder if MS genes show up in this:https://t.co/iNUxKcfuim

"the first evidence that perceived speech can be identified from the listeners' brain signals measured via functional-near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)—a non-invasive, portable, and wearable neuroimaging technique"https://t.co/9PIEFvMcRT

"[demo] feasibility of using wearable multi-channel NIRS during strenuous exercise in natural, unrestrained settings and discuss the origins and effects of data artifacts. […] guidelines for taking condition-dependent signal quality into account" https://t.co/uFbdtoyArW

"These developments provide an opportunity to couple fNIRS with tDCS, consistent with a neuroergonomics approach for joint neuroimaging and neurostimulation investigations of cognition in complex tasks and in naturalistic conditions."https://t.co/OpRcjFNjZn

"[…] a tool for ongoing monitoring — capturing changes in mental health state over time — to learn what happens between visits. Many clinicians asked if they could send the EEG system home so their patients and clients could repeat the test on their own"https://t.co/bVQhYx7T0a

"For EEG to come out of the lab and into the real world as a mental health assessment tool in a primary care doctor’s office, counseling centre or psychiatric clinic, it needs to become more accessible and usable at scale."Yes. YES!

Talking with someone (not on twitter) about using EEG as a way to hone feedback loops (entrainment?) to help alleviate issues we see in Parkinson's and Alzheimers. https://t.co/RSUzTHqxA6I think it could help other conditions as well...https://t.co/SiJbXXiMRO
