andrew trounson of the university of melbourne wrote an article, “translating thought into action.” this article describes the stentrode which is implanted into a cerebral vein that reads brain signals, allowing patients with profound motor neuron disease and paralysis “to operate computers and phones with their minds.” the stentrode “is composed of a tiny scaffold that expands within a blood vessel to hold it in place; 16 tiny sensors are then mounted on it to pick up brain activity.” the use of this device in patients has allowed the operation of a personal computer “using only two or three thought commands. . . . what makes it so promising is that its placement in a cerebral blood vessel means that it is close enough to the brain to record neural activity effectively without being implanted in the brain. . . . the stentrode is biocompatible and becomes incorporated in the wALL OF THE BLOOD VESSEL AND ISN’T IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE BRAIN, MEANING IT CAN KEEP OPERATING PERMANENTLY. . . . YOU THINK ABOUT THE COMMAND OR ACTION YOU ARE TRYING TO PERFORM. . . . CONTROL IS DONE USING THOUGHTS.”
IN MY NEXT POST I WILL ELABORATE ON THIS DEVICE AND ITS USE WITH EXCERPTS FROM AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN A PEER REVIEW JOURNAL. mY OBJECTIVE IN CITING THESE WORKS IS TO SHOW HOW THE IMMATERIAL MIND HAS THE CAPACITY TO GENERATE WAVE FORMS THAT INTERACT WITH THE SYNAPTIC NETWORKS OF THE BRAIN IN DUALIST INTERACTION. WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THESE PROCESSES WERE CREATED BY GOD SO THAT PERSONAL COMMUNION IS POSSIBLE BETWEEN HUMANS AND WITH GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT. OUR GOD IS A RELATIONAL, PERSONAL GOD WHO DESIRES TO COMMUNE WITH US.
