You still have your hands, your eyes and your ears. Look at those who are blind and deaf. Being blind and deaf is actually scarier than being handicapped. When a person is blind and death, they cant see, and neither can they hear. Impossible to communicate. But you, you still have a functioning head...

That is seriously a very weird way of encouraging people...

hi nikar, how have u been

86jl SG

hi everyone, my brother is getting better day by day, slowly recovering just that he now got to depend on a ventilator to breathe and is unable to move anything below his neck

mechamind SG

I have read this whole thread and I would like to give some information which i hope will be an encouragement to Jem and his family and love ones.

I was searching on the Internet for possible ways that Jem could communicate with a computer or a prosthetic arm or leg using the brain. I managed to find some information and I hope to find more that could help Jem.

There is a device called the "BrainGate Neural Interface System". This invention is actually by an American company called Cyberkinetics which implants a chip at the part of the brain responsible for voluntary movement.

Wikipedia info on it, click here

Article on it from Chicago University, click here

Youtube video of it, click here

Brain Twitter project, click here

That is it for now, I will come back when I have more information.

Hi, hope Jem is doing fine.

I read an article on channelnews asia which was about polytechnics showcasing their R&D projects. The article is here

Republic poly showcased their project on the Brain Computer Interface and I thought that maybe Jem and his family might be interested in this.

I do not know about the end date of the event but I know that it is hosted in NTU so if Jem and his family are interested, perhaps Jem's sister could go down and take a look and maybe talk to the Republic Poly team involved in the project.

I think that giving Jem the ability to communicate online could be a good start so I think this could be a good opportunity for him.
