Did you know that you are full of
electricity, buzzing through the vast maze
of nerves in your body?
In fact, those connections are so powerful
and understandable that they can be
made to stimulate movement in someone
else’s body!
We’ll have some fun in today’s EWC
article bringing you to the edges of what
we are learning about the electrical
connections of the brain to our bodies.
There is a company called Backyard
Brains that has created a website ready
to bring us all up to speed on our own
bodies, with a lot of fun. More about that
in a few minutes.
To start with, today’s video is a bit of a
“jaw-dropper” in many ways.
Greg Gage a neuroscientist and co-
founder of Backyard Brains has developed
the technology that allows the brain
function of one person to control the
motor functions of another.
