Dr. David Adelson, a pediatric neurosurgeon at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, is attempting to develop brain-computer interface technology. He hopes the study will lead to advances that will help amputees control artificial limbs with their minds. Talia Le Duff, a feisty 11-year-old who suffers from epileptic seizures, can move a computer cursor with her mind. No, she doesn’t have telekinesis. Doctors at Phoenix Children’s Hospital recently implanted electrodes on her brain to help determine where her seizures are originating. While the electrodes were in place, doctors conducted an experiment as part of an entirely different project to see whether she could move things with her mind.
