The SMART Board

In crossroads South middle school we have been given new SMART boards. The SMART board is a new technology that gives hands on learning to our class. It is a special board that is combined with a projector to make learning fun. To be used it is like a touch screen that every one can use. There is a computer that is linked to it so the teacher can have us learn without having to give boring lessons. Right now there is few in the school, but in the future there will possibly be more.

Bypassing Paralyzed Muscles and Nerves

A paralyzed monkey was able to move his forearm with scientific discovery. The monkey had its forearm muscles electronically attached to the brain. Many scientists are being skeptical about if this can then be used on current paralyzed patients. This experiment had been the first time that the neuron was electrically linked to an animals own muscles. The experiment was also a test of the brains flexibility which it proved itself. In conclusion the use of electrodes implanted in paralyzed patients could one day help humans regain use of their paralyzed limbs.
