The machine literally tens of minutes


As explained by ward scientist, but first he had to think, which means some combination of tingling on the tongue, but soon the brain is automatically transformed into some sort of device signals a picture.

In fact, other parts of the cortex, not associated primarily with vision, began working as a "card" of the computer -

Within an hour of communication with the device, Eric was able to pass through a doorway, a little later and hit the audience does such a complex action, as the interception of a ball rolling on the floor.

One morning she woke up, and rose to her feet, she saw: the room is spinning around, and things desperately attacking it from all sides.

It was not drunkenness. The survey revealed that Cheryl has completely lost vestibular function, normal brain refused to "calculate" the orientation in space.

It happened in 1997. Very rare - or rather, biochemical injury, turned the girl's life into a nightmare that ended only recently, after Cheryl experienced TDU.

To somehow walk, Cheryl had to resort to the help of friends, and sometimes she did it herself - for short distances, exerting utmost consciousness, not instinctively and automatically, as we are, mentally, wondering how she is, focusing on the provision horizon.

Signals are the same "fluid level", built into us, marrow Cheryl did not take.

And so it was - swinging linguistic landscape is gradually replaced in the head Cheryl lost vestibular control, then, obviously, were involved in other areas of the cortex.

But the most surprising - working with TDU gave the effect of "inertia." For example, after three minutes' walk from the instrument in his mouth for a minute Sheryl could walk normally without it.

What happens in the brain - remains to be seen.

However, the picture, when Cheryl, whose normal vestibular mechanism and not recovered, goes unaided by a log - most visibly demonstrates the potential of technology.

While the signal from the electronics on display are the language of the wire, but in principle it can be done via radio.

Then the person using the device, not much will stand in the crowd, except that the camera on his forehead and a computer on the belt. This is a small price to pay for the opportunity to regain his sight.
