Los dispositivos capaces de restaurar la función manual y el control de la vejiga a algunos pacientes con parálisis ya han sido aprobados por la FDA (Food and Drug Administration) en EEUU. Los pacientes utilizan movimientos musculares residuales para controlar conscientemente estos sistemas; un sistema que funciona bien para algunas aplicaciones pero limita la complejidad del movimiento que se puede realizar. Por ejemplo, un dispositivo FES permite a las personas encoger un hombro para activar un movimiento más atrevido con la mano, pero no tienen el suficiente control como para asir objetos.

A new system designed to translate brain signals into complex muscle movements in real time has been presented at the congress of the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago. The system could enable people with spinal cord damage control their own members. According to Krishna Shenoy, a neuroscientist at Stanford University is a breakthrough and is the first demonstration of an electrical stimulation cortically controlled by a task that will ultimately be useful to a human patient.
The devices can restore hand function and bladder control in some patients with paralysis have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in USA. Patients used to control muscle movements consciously waste these systems, a system that works well for some applications but limits the complexity of motion that can be performed. For example, an FES device allows people to shrug a shoulder to activate a more daring movement with his hand, but do not have enough control to grasp objects.

The digitalization of everyday life generates thousands of records, are used for medical research, economic or the fight against terror. In our daily, increasingly digitized, constantly generate data about our habits, we leave tracks everywhere. When we buy in the supermarket and the membership card, click, were recorded each week, for example, with the meat, vegetables and eggs, Parmesan cheese, and only once a month, a carton of vanilla ice cream . Then send SMS with your mobile and click, our record indicates how many people we interact with and if we are a frequent user. Maybe later, in the office, we sailed for a while, read a couple of newspapers, sent three e-mails and bought a train ticket, click, click, click...
The burgeoning world is a giant laboratory data on human behavior. It's an operating table for the social sciences, economic behavior and psychology. The promising future of mining in this decade, each of us will, often inadvertently, to their own models in almost every aspect of life. We will be modeled as workers, patients, soldiers, lovers, customers and voters, "he writes. Your guess is ambitious: combined all these aspects, see the “mathematical modeling of humanity”.... - ACE & ILVEN Argentina – Esp. Ing. Roberto Camana Fiallos.
