we need less politics and more of this
Wonderful 🎉
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this made me uniquely happy, a similar way i felt seeing this tech in middle school through APLs Modular Prosthetic Limb research- but seeing how deep learning is making the interfaces so much more applicable today is really touching in terms of how much of an impact it will make for these peoples lives. the hardware was for a while hovering around whats needed but its taken a bit for us to have software that makes use of these actually viable for day to day activities and without too much non-generalized preprogrammed instruction
We have an Amazing God.
Glad for her. To bad the money for research, in the billions, is going over seas and in the politicians pockets.
This moved me. I admit, my eyes leaked while I was grinning at the same time 🙂
Wow! Wonderful!!! So happy for her and for this new discovery!
Where science becomes 'Magic'.
🤲✨️👸🏻✨️❤️🔥✨️
BTW – no "miracles" seen here – as miracles aren't real and this VERY MUCH IS! Amazing!
Yet another win for science!!!
Extraordinary 🎉 the brain is and neuroscience
By now I would hope our men and women would have these now! Thank you and God bless you for your service 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
I'm a Christian, not a machine, you aren't plugging me up to anything, people are so ready and begging to take the mark of the beast, anything their medical religion priest the doctor tells them…..
Amazing.
Thank you to all involved to help humanity with your education and perseverance.
God Bless you all.
Angels among us.
