I'm cleaning out the Yahoo! alerts that have been piling up in my inbox, so here are some interesting stories (this will be updated throughout the next few days):
- A Halifax researcher got funding to do motor perturbation experiments. It looks like David Westwood will be using a KinArm type device (it might even be a KinArm) to look at the role vision plays during movements when outside forces are applied. Nifty.
- ABC News has a story on the role of observing sensation in some synesthetes. Mirror-touch synesthesia? Kinda playing off the mirror neurons system success in popular science mags. Still, I have to support the media when they actually tackle a neuroscience concept and don't completely mangle it. Also covered at New Scientist, Reuters and LiveScience. (Will link to the Nature Neuro paper they refer to later.)
- Medical News Today has an (depressing) overview or ALS.
- Boston.com has an article discussing the benefits of video game systems, like the Nintendo Wii, for seniors. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Video games will teach us much more about the future of BCI than most people think.
