Call it mindwriting.
The combination of mental effort and state-of-the-art technology have allowed a man with immobilized limbs to communicate by text at speeds rivaling those achieved by his able-bodied peers texting on a smartphone.
Stanford University investigators have coupled artificial-intelligence software with a device, called a brain-computer interface, implanted in the brain of a man with full-body paralysis. The software was able to decode information from the BCI to quickly convert the man s thoughts about handwriting into text on a computer screen.
The man was able to write using this approach more than twice as quickly as he could using a previous method developed by the Stanford researchers, who reported those findings in 2017 in the journal eLife.
Study Shows That A Blood Test Could Predict Your Baby’s Birth Date
A group of scientists may have discovered a new blood test which gives an accurate prediction of a baby’s due date.
These scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine through research done have found a way to predict when the baby is popping by observing properties in the mother’s blood.
This research was carried out amongst 63 women who gave two or three blood samples in the last 100 days of their pregnancies.
All these women went into labour at similar time frames and doctors where then able to compare their labour date with their blood samples.

Researchers observed a significant difference in the rate of complete stable remission among several surgical methods for thymectomy in myasthenia gravis, according to results of a meta-analysis published in

To prove their COVID-19 vaccines worked, companies had to enroll more than 100,000 participants in monthslong clinical trials. Next time, Peter Gilbert wants such tests to require only a few hundred people and eight weeks time.
To get there, Gilbert and others have to figure out how much protection people need to avoid hospitalization and death from COVID-19, or even to prevent getting infected at all.
But 15 months after COVID-19 shut down most of the world, it s still not clear what level of immune protection is enough. I haven t seen people tossing around a number, and I m a little surprised by that. I would have thought we were further along by now, said John Grabenstein, editor for the Immunization Action Coalition and former senior scientist and director for the U.S. Department of Defense military immunization program.
