Each array is embedded in a small mat of clear, rubbery silicone. The mats are barely visible in this image. These microelectrode arrays sit on the brain without penetrating it, a step toward longer-lived, less invasive versions of “neural interfaces” that in recent experiments elsewhere have allowed paralyzed people to control a computer cursor with their thoughts. The new microelectrode arrays were placed in two patients at the University of Utah who already were undergoing brain surgery for severe epilepsy. The larger, numbered, metallic electrodes are used to locate the source of epileptic seizures in the brain, so the patients allowed the microelectrodes to be placed on their brains at the same time.</span> (via <a href="http://www.popsci.com/node/36702" target="_blank">Gallery: The Year’s Most Amazing Scientific Images | Popular Science</a></p> <p>)</p>http://saccades.net/post/439741588http://saccades.net/post/439741588Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:28:17 -0500“Control might be the goal of a typical politician, but the future belongs to linchpins, individuals with leverage, people willing to make a difference and do work that matters.”<br/><br/> - <em>Seth Godin</em>http://saccades.net/post/354411920http://saccades.net/post/354411920Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:32:47 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksg45dU0Uh1qz6avlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mountain Dwellings by BIG Architects, Copenhagen, Denmark 16mrt09 Mountain Dwellings, is a project consisting of apartments above a multi-storey car park designed by the Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group or BIG. The building is located in Copenhagen, next to VM Houses, completed by BIG and Julien de Smedt Architects in 2006. The 80 apartments are arranged on a sloping “hillside” above the car park that has space for 480 cars.
