    A brain implant the size and thickness of a postage stamp is set to improve the quality of life for stroke victims and other brain conditions — by emailing thoughts to AI using wi-fi.

    The new silicon brain computer interface also aims to expand treatment possibilities for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, the degenerative disease ALS and blindness.

    The team behind it says the implant – will help manage seizures and restore motor, speech, and visual function.

    This is done by providing a minimally invasive, high-throughput information link directly to and from the brain.

    The transformational potential of this new system lies in its small size and ability to transfer data at high rates.

    It has been developed by US researchers at Columbia University, NewYork-Presbyterian, Stanford University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

    The interface relies on a single silicon chip to establish a wireless, high-bandwidth connection between the brain and any external computer.

    The platform is called the Biological Interface System to Cortex or BISC for short.

    A wearable robot to help disabled people perform everyday tasks has been developed by engineers.
    The aim is to help those with neurodegenerative disease or who have had a stroke.
    They often suffer from impaired movement of the shoulder, arm or hands, preventing them from daily tasks like brushing their teeth, combing their hair or eating.
    A team at the USA’s Harvard University has developed the soft, wearable robot to provide movement assistance and could even augment therapies to help regain mobility.
    The robot consists of a sensor-loaded vest with a balloon attached underneath the arm that inflates and deflates to apply mechanical assistance to a weak or impaired limb.
    Physical motions are highly individualised, especially for the mobility-impaired, making it difficult to design a device that works for many different people.
    The wearable robot is said to be responsive to an individual user’s exact movements.
    This makes it with more personalised assistance that could give users better, more controlled support for daily tasks.
    The researchers used a machine learning model that personalises assistance levels to an individual user.
    It learns which movements the user is trying to do, via sensors that track both motion and pressure.

The device, called the XoMotion, is also aimed at assisting people disabled by a stroke or other neurological conditions to learn how to stand up and walk again. It has a full range of motion to walk, climb stairs, sidestep and crouch, all while maintaining stability without tipping over. It is said to be the first device of its kind to mimic the physiological motion of the legs and lower body giving a user the ability to perform complex mobility tasks. The XoMotion is equipped with advanced sensor systems and multi-modal controllers for patients to quickly learn to operate it hands free, The Canada-based company behind it, Human in Motion Robotics, envisions it being used initially by rehabilitation centres. But it says it will ultimately be available for daily, personal use, for individuals to give them mobility at home and in the community. Picture supplied by JLPPA

It has a full range of motion to walk, climb stairs, sidestep and crouch, all while maintaining stability without tipping over. It is said to be the first device of its kind to mimic the physiological motion of the legs and lower body giving a user the ability to perform complex mobility tasks. The XoMotion is equipped with advanced sensor systems and multi-modal controllers for patients to quickly learn to operate it hands free, The Canada-based company behind it, Human in Motion Robotics, envisions it being used initially by rehabilitation centres. But it says it will ultimately be available for daily, personal use, for individuals to give them mobility at home and in the community. Picture supplied by JLPPA

    Pictures must credit: California Institute of Technology A headband that can tell if a patient is at risk of a stroke has been developed by scientists. The device monitors changes in blood flow and volume while a participant holds their breath. It incorporates a laser-based system and has shown promising results in terms of differentiating between individuals at low and high risk of stroke. Globally, one in four adults over the age of 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. It is caused by the blockage or rupture of an artery in the brain, which results in a reduction in blood flow. Starved of oxygen, the brain's cells die rapidly—about tow million every minute during a stroke. Over 12 million people worldwide suffer a stroke every year and 6.5 million die as a result. The condition is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability. The headband has been created by a US team of engineers and scientists from the California Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California. Picture supplied by JLPPA

    Warm water and $8 hot chips: after six years of waiting does western Sydney's new pool live up to the hype?
    The new Parramatta Aquatic Centre features pleasing curved architecture, but is it worth the $88.6m cost?

    Parramatta is a city without a pool no more.

    The people of western Sydney have sizzled through six summers since the Parramatta War Memorial Swimming Centre was bulldozed to make way for a new stadium.

    So is the new Parramatta Aquatic Centre, which opened this week, worth the wait - and its $88.6m price tag?

    Guardian Australia gave the facility - with its 50-metre heated outdoor pool, 25-metre indoor pool, splash playground, gym and sauna - a road test to see if it lives up to the hype.

    Guardian Australia gave the facility - with its 50-metre heated outdoor pool, 25-metre indoor pool, splash playground, gym and sauna - a road test to see if it lives up to the hype.
