  • I want a beer

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 24 14:10:09 2022
    Another triumph for science:

    ""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."

    At least he's using it effectively.
