Researchers: Monkeys use mind to move objects
2003-10-14 11:18:49

-- Dr. Miguel Nicolelis knew he had nailed it when the monkey stopped using her arm to play the computer game.
An implanted device had allowed the monkey to control the game using only her thoughts, Nicolelis and colleagues report in the Public Library of Science Biology journal on Monday.
And changes in the way the monkey's brain cells worked suggested the brain was physically adjusting to the device, they reported in the new online science journal.
Nicolelis hopes the device will eventually allow paralyzed patients to regain some ability to use their upper bodies -- virtually, if not physically.
"The monkey suddenly realized that she didn't need to move her arm at all," Nicolelis said in a statement.
"Her arm muscles went completely quiet, she kept the arm at her side and she controlled the robot arm using only her brain and visual feedback."
Three years ago, Nicolelis and colleagues at Duke University in North Carolina reported that they had allowed a monkey to move a robotic arm using only her thoughts and implanted electrodes. But the monkey continued to move her arm.
In the latest experiment, they said two monkeys figured out what was happening and played a computer game using thoughts alone.

Recognizing brain patterns
"It's very different because these animals now receive feedback information," Nicolelis added in a telephone interview.
"They could learn to correct their errors and achieve a very high level of proficiency, using brain activity alone to reproduce reaching and grabbing hand movements."
Nicolelis and colleagues first implanted microelectrodes -- each smaller than the diameter of a human hair -- into the brains of two female rhesus macaque monkeys named Aurora and Ivy.
One got 96 electrodes in her frontal and parietal lobes -- known to be the source of commands for muscular movement. The second monkey got 320 implants.
The electrodes transmit faint signals to a computer system the researchers have developed to recognize patterns of signals that represent particular movements by an animal's arm. These signals are translated and in turn control a robotic arm.
At first the animals were taught to use a joystick to control the cursor of a video game -- which Nicolelis said they enjoyed playing. The researchers recorded and analyzed the electrical activity of the neurons near the implanted electrodes.

Learning to control cursor
As the game became more complex, the monkeys learned how to control the cursor.
The group has started working with a small group of human patients, but Nicolelis said he could not give any details yet.
Potential users include 200,000 people in the United States alone who have partial or nearly total permanent paralysis. An estimated 11,000 people a year suffer severe spinal cord injuries, for instance, and sufferers of Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, may also become paralyzed.
"We hope the brain will learn to adapt to the devices and incorporate them as if they were the patient's own limbs," Nicolelis said.

Could help humans
His team is working to miniaturize the device so it can be useful to a human patient outside a laboratory setting.
"There is certainly a great deal of science and engineering to be done to develop this technology and to create systems that can be used safely in humans," he added.
"However, the results so far lead us to believe that these brain-machine interfaces hold enormous promise for restoring function to paralyzed people."

August 2003 - CrackDown on the Catholic Regime

Canon Robinson would be the first Openly gay Anglican bishop.

The Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire received final approval at a national church conference Tuesday, hours after being cleared of charges of touching a man "inappropriately" and allegations he was connected to a Web site with links to pornography.

The bishops' vote was one of several steps required for the Episcopal church to confirmed the election of Robinson, who has openly lived with a man since his divorce 14 years ago. He has two children from his marriage.

The Rev. Desmond Francis, pastor of Christ the King Episcopal Church in Normal, said he is disturbed by the developments.

"It seems to me those who voted in favor of seating an openly gay, active bishop seem to be endorsing sin and rejecting outright the authority of scripture," Francis said. "If you begin at scripture, there is no way you can endorse seating a bishop who is openly gay," he added. Francis agreed the church may face a permanent division, breaking into two denominations within the United States, but still being part of the greater international Episcopal community.

This further divide weakens yet again the hold of the papacy of the local Angelican groups of the US, and leads the way into homosexual marriages, an Illuminati Goal.

The SARS Testing in Hong Kong Successful
Illuminati Researchers in Hong Kong were pleased that the SARS virus is mutating fast and will complicate efforts to develop a solid diagnosis and a vaccine.

Dr Dennis Lo, an Illuminati chemical pathologist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong has helped create two different strains.
Meanwhile Hong Kong on Friday reported eight more SARS deaths and another 11 infections, bringing the local deaths to 170 and the total cases to 1,611.
China's president, Hu Jintao, has been duly chastised by the plague and is now firmly in agreement with the local Illuminati branch.

Several major Web sites have reported attacks over the past few days that rendered their sites largely inaccessible.
E-commerce giants eBay, Amazon.com and Buy.com, along with Yahoo, news site CNN.com, online trading sites E*Trade and Datek, and technology information provider ZDNet have reported similar attacks.
We Tested out some new software this week, secretly copying and inserting certain data into the databases of the above listed companies, using Yahoo.com as a testbase. Then we simply spread thru the rumor mill, a few names of hacker agents that have worked against us, therefor killing two birds with one stone :}
