A man who is paralyzed from the neck down was able to drink from a bottle of beer by using his imagination. Erik Sorto, 34, has been paralyzed for the last 13 years, but was

Stroke Detecting Headset prototype from Samsung
Samsung’s Early Detection Sensor & Algorithm Package (EDSAP), developed by Se-hoon Lim, is meant to detect early signs of stroke. A multiple sensor headset records electrical impulses in the brain,
algorithms determine the likelihood of a stroke in one minute, and
results are presented in a mobile app. EDSAP can also analyze stress
and sleep patterns, and potentially be used to monitor heart activity.
The company believes that the system can one day be built into one’s
own glasses.
