FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda THURSDAY, July 26 (HealthDay News) — A new technology may enable
people who have lost the ability to move their arms or legs to use their
eyes to write in cursive, or script.
The technology, which enables people to produce smooth eye movements in
desired directions, could be of great benefit to people who have lost limb
movement because of diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, also called ALS) or spinal or other injuries,
according to the study published online July 26 in the journal Current
Biology.
The “eye-writing” technology might also help improve eye-movement
control in people with conditions such as dyslexia or attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or in professions that require strong eye
focus, such as surgeons and athletes, according to a journal news
release.
“Contrary to the current belief, we show that one can gain complete,
voluntary control over smooth pursuit eye movements,” Jean Lorenceau, of
Pierre and Marie Curie University-Paris, said in the news release. “The
discovery also provides a tool to use smooth pursuit eye movements as a
pencil to draw, write or generate a signature.”
The technology uses a visual display to help people learn to develop
smooth eye movement. It doesn’t take much practice, according to
Lorenceau.
“One can also imagine that, in the long term, eye movements can
routinely be used in man-machine interactions,” he said.
Lorenceau is developing an improved version of the eye writer, and
tests with ALS patients should begin next year, according to the
release.
