- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What if you were in an accident or had a stroke that left you paralyzed or without the ability to speak? Chad Bouton is an engineer and researcher who found himself in that situation after a traumatic brain injury and facing that very question. He is now helping to advance a technology called ‘neural bridging’ that forms an artificial neural bypass that could help the millions of people living with paralysis and other effects from stroke and spinal cord or brain injuries. This talk will describe the revolutionary research and development that is underway and you will meet the first paralyzed patient to move again with this type of technology.
Chad Bouton is a Research Leader at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio, serving as principal investigator for numerous cutting-edge research and development programs. His expertise includes bio-sensors, neural prosthetics and decoding, and linear and nonlinear signal processing and control methods.
Bouton developed neural decoding methods that allowed a person to control a wheelchair with a brain implant for the first time. He also developed new signal processing methods for cancer detection systems to aid surgeons in more efficiently and effectively pinpointing cancerous tissue intra-operatively.
He holds 67 patents worldwide and has earned three R&D 100 Awards. In 2010, Bouton was recognized by Congress for his work in the medical device field and was awarded with Battelle’s highest honor, Inventor of the Year. In 2011, he became a Distinguished Inventor at Battelle and was recognized by the National Academy of Engineering. He twice has won the Battelle Technical Achievement Award for his innovation and development of a new medical technology using radio frequency (RF) based sensing methods and for improved methods to decode signals from the human brain.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Only 11k views and 12m followers.....but the Kardashians get millions per episode. Sad.
He had help, my brother has no insurance.
trial are free ? we have a neuralink now, I just want to be able to use my left hand.. the robotic arm is so expensive only those with insurance can afford them . the talk is neuralink will be around $ 2500.00 and uses an app on a cell phone , i want one as soon as possible. good health to your brother
I'm surprised that Ian's name isn't in the description for this video. Could you consider adding it, please? He's the one who is living what they are doing...and thanks for any consideration!
Oh, this gives me so much hope. This technology is absolutely incredible! I think the ending statement is true, that it's not a question of IF, but WHEN we'll be using this technology in our everyday lives. It must be SO expensive at this point in time. I hope I get to see it put to use in the next couple decades.
Jenn Hoff im with ya jenn
This post was almost a decade ago. By the time anyone else reads this, it will have been a decade. Reincarnate in paradise
Agenda 2021/2030 will make sure you dont see their future.
I've worked with brain machine interfacing as well. Unfortunately, this tech cannot help stroke victims as strokes entail damaged neurons in the brain and BMI only works as an artificial central nervous system that allows for communication between a functioning brain and functioning muscles. This technology is not that new. This may be the first time it was implemented with a human brain (as opposed to a monkey), but there is very good reason for that. We are not at the point where this technology should be tested with humans, because the neurons in the region of the array die and render the device ineffective, at which point you need to explant the array and implant it into another region. Unfortunately, the only way a computer can truly "decode" your brain to control your limbs is if you teach it the proper sequences by having it record brain waves when you activate the muscles you desire. Any other form of decoding would be "intelligent guessing" based on understandings of the different regions of the brain (motor cortex, somatosensory cortex, etc.) without actually catering to the individual. Essentially, the same decoding algorithm he used for Ian would be used for every paralyzed individual, which means you won't ever get fine motor control. There is further no such thing as the computer learning, from the time of its inception, how to better help the paralyzed patient because that would require feedback on to the computer on the intentions behind the limb movement (something that can only be inputted manually). Most complicated of all, even if we found a way to overcome all of the obstacles I mentioned, we would only have achieved feedforward control of muscles. That still leaves 1) feedback to the brain and 2) proprioception as necessities left to be tackled. This entails implanting an array into the somatosensory cortex and likely attempting to remap the neural networking by stimulating various neuron clusters of a varying preferred direction and routing them to a new set of processing instructions. Not nearly as easy as it sounds.. and I know it doesn't sound easy 😛
ill keep praying i was paralyzed chest down after my harley was run off the road in july 09. regaurdless i will ride again next year with a sidecar to hold me up and suicide shifter. but to be able to walk with even a walker gives me hope to have a life again. i have only left the house 5 times in almost 6 years when i was out doing that by thursdays. always doing something and now i have band pain around my ribs thats immobilized me blood clots have legs swollen bad and i lay in bed 24/7. so please dont ever stop this i dont want to die in a nursinghome by age 55 ok??? god bless
Praying for them and for you.
Keep the faith Brian.
Technology tends to snow ball.
Keep your mind active, until they can fix your body.
Much love brother.
@@stevenrapa4014 I became a paraplegic after sustaining a spinal cord injury in a car crash twelve years ago, and have been on bed rest for the past two years for related health problems. Even though they weren't meant for me, reading your kind words of support brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
@@PhoebeTarzan80 they are for you too Rebecca.
We are all in it together.
Much love.
Thanks so much, Steven, that means a lot. Much love to you as well.
Im a polio when I was a child upon reaching51years old I had a stroke all those body part affected by polio were the most affected of my recent stroke I hope you ca come here in the pgilippines and make my predicament a material for your technology enhancement
this technology in the future :O
Incredible example of how personal experience can lead technology as it is passion and knowledge driven. Absolutely important for millions in the world 🙌🙌🙌🙌 so brilliant
Is it possible for complet paralysis?
Hopefully
How to get that amazing innovation for my father
I was burdened with bad doctors and over 3 years what was whiplash pain took over my whole body and I lost even my ability to breathe without pain. This year I learned to ignore the bad impulses in my nervous system and then started to make a miraculous recovery!
great relief to the needy, many more such innovatives may be accomplished in days to come.
I LOVE AMERICA & AMERICAN TECH NOLOGY.
This is fascinating. As this was published in 2014, I wonder how much farther the trials have come on.
Unfortunately this will take decades before perfected. Hope for s cure locked in sydrome
the one dislike...
