 Artist/friend Elenor, sent some photos and said "After raining 2 days and nights the sun came out in the afternoon and we  could go for a walk. 

 

 

 What is so nice in this hilly region is that you can see the Alps so often. I love this view, it gives me the feeling of peace.

 

 

Thank you, Elenor for our walk in Austria.

The amazing brain 

Have you ever heard of "mindwriting?" It's a term used by scientists for a very specific skill that could spell hope for millions of people who have lost mobility or the ability to communicate. A man paralyzed from the neck down for almost a decade recently completed an amazing feat of "mindwriting," and used his brain to compose whole sentences in real-time. 

Scientists implanted two tiny sensors into his brain, and then asked him to imagine holding a pen and paper and then try to write. As he visualized it, an algorithm then decoded the motion for each letter, translating it into text which appeared on a computer screen. Eventually, he was able to communicate at the same rate, or faster, than someone texting. 

The innovation could one day allow people with paralysis to rapidly type without using their hands, and researchers are hoping it will only take a few years to become widely available. Eventually art?
