Unconscious patients can now ‘speak’ with brain-computer interface tech

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, neuroscience

When you see an unconscious patient in a movie, you sometimes see their thoughts onscreen (like in The 9th Life of Louis Drax, above) or at least hear a voiceover.

Theoretically, workers have been on the fast track to obsolescence since the Luddites took sledgehammers to industrial looms in the early 1800s.

We follow a thread connecting the most sacred of rituals, the “Great Mysteries of Eleusis,” to the discovery of LSD by Albert Hofmann in the midst of WW2, and from there, to a new, psychedelic view of the entirety of Greek culture.
