Default The Power of The Brain / Amazing 60 Minutes Story

Did anyone see this story on 60 minutes last night? It's amazing....and very promising especially for ALS and stroke patients. If they can do this now just think what they'll be able to do in five or ten years?! It's exciting!

Isn't it amazing?! I think within the next 20 years we'll see people who were once helpless doing things they never dreamed they'd do.

And to be a part of the research and development would be an incredible experience.

This gives hope to many people.
