A lot of us in palliative care have watched the unfolding, devastating, opioid overdose crisis in the US with dread and horror, as well as the multitude of r...

Severely Disabled People Mind-Control a Robotic Arm via EEG
Scientific collaborators from Carnegie Mellon University and University of Minnesota have created a way for people to control a robotic arm using a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI). Previously, electrode array implants in the brain have been necessary to give severely disabled people the ability to manipulate an external robot. That is because implants can gather more actionable signal information by being placed right on the surface of the brain. Avoiding dangerously invasive brain surgery to place these implants, though, is a big goal in the field of brain-computer interfaces.
The Carnegie Mellon team turne...

simulation curriculum we were developing to help prepare trainees for the
emotional challenges encountered when engaging in global health work. “It needs
a name,” we thought. Something that would make it easy to talk about internally
as we started a multi-institutional pilot. We began jotting down key words on
the back of our notes in search for an acronym, finally coming to a sweet
revel...
