Stentrode and Fantastic Journey—Catalyst

Your Playlist:

Description

The Stentrode is a radically new approach in the field of "brain-machine interfaces" - technology that delivers mind-control over computers, robotic limbs or exoskeletons and gives people with paralysis the chance for more independence, using the power of thought. We’ve sent astronauts into outer space but travelling to the inner space of the human body still remains the stuff of science fiction –or does it? In a unique collaboration between art and science, a series of immersive 3D experiences is helping patients to better understand what happens in the brain during a stroke. Based on high resolution scientific data, the project also involves some of Australia’s leading drug delivery researchers, who can now virtually travel inside a cancer cell, opening the door to future discoveries that may treat disease.
