POPSRC Helicopter # Unique indoor fly bird : can fly flexibly even in the small space # Ultralight appearance: super lightweight, will not demage the items even play indoors # Innovative fly movements: this dragonfly helicopter can fly like real insect, the farthest remote control distance is about 50 feet. It can take off on the smooth surface, complete high-altitude circumferential flight, hover, diving, and landed in a glider-type. # Two operate mode: "Beginner" and "Expert" mode on the remote control, great for junior and senior players to enjoy the fun of flying. # Rear: the ribbon of the tail is an ideal training assistant tool, especially to help you control the speed and stability of the flight. # Solid material, flexible appearance: durable carbon fiber material, flexible body design, made this dragonfly helicopter can withstand any collision. # Eye indicator light: the eye light can be used to check the state of the helicopter. Turn on the power of the remote control:

POPSAn End to Paralysis with Artificial Brain-to-Muscle Connectors Say the researchers: Until now, brain-computer interfaces were designed to decode the activity of neurons known to be associated with movement of specific body parts. Here, the researchers discovered that any motor cortex cell, regardless of whether it had been previously associated with wrist movement, was capable of stimulating muscle activity. This finding greatly expands the potential number of neurons that could control signals for brain-computer interfaces and also illustrates the flexibility of the motor cortex. Human implementations for the technology are at least a decade away, but this discovery could be a game-changer for dealing with paralysis. One possibility would be to connect the motor cortex with an area of the spine below an injury. Signals would be re-routed around the damaged spinal cord, and could allow the brain to regain control of the paralyzed body parts affected by the injury.

POPSBionic implants raise ethical question What's the difference between a bionic ear, and an artificial leg, a kidney dialysis machine a heart valve or a breast implant ? They're all artificial substitutions. I have trouble finding the reason for anyone but the recipient to judge. As for the fear of 'superhuman' capabilities It is just a matter of taking the next step and substituting the brain. Then there's a robot/cyborg with absolutely no ethics, just a command chain, but a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. When is the public ever listened to anyway ? Perhaps we should ask a deaf philosopher.

POPSNew, bionic hands available to Iraq vets I'm sure they'd rather have the hands they were born with, but at least the government is trying to relieve some of the trauma of having a hand blown off by giving them a super-duper replacement.
