Innovation seems to be an overused term in the digital age. The next level of innovation is here and appropriately used in the context of integration of the mind and technology to create physical movement. The concept of using neurons to move objects at a distance appears to live in the land of futurism. A neuron-based technology fusing movement or thought process could a “Jedi mind trick” yet the thought of swiping on your iPhone with your mind versus your finger is here.

Back to the basics

We have to walk this back to basic biology class to expand a neuron and the complexity of how we got here. The University Of Queensland in Australia, Brain Institute defines neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.
