Ungesabi ... akuyona "ukwelashwa kweFrankenstein" lapho kuvulwa khona ikhanda lesiguli bese kukhishwa ingxenye yobuchopho baso ukuze iyeke ukuhlupheka.
Ngolunye usuku ngibone ingqungquthela kwa-TED (ngizokubeka kamuva) lapho udokotela ohlinza izinzwa ekhuluma ngokuthi babubone kanjani ngokuphelele ubuchopho ngokomsebenzi obudlalayo kithi, okungukuthi bazi kahle ukuthi iyiphi indawo yobuchopho bethu elawula ulimi, ukunyakaza, njll. Lapho lezi zindawo sezitholakele, zikwazile ukuthola umuntu onesifo i-Alzheimer's, ukwenza isibonelo, ukugcina izingxenye zobuchopho "zicisha" ngalesi sifo.
Bakwenze kanjani lokhu? Ngogesi. Afaka ama-electrode amancane endaweni eyonakele yobuchopho futhi akwazi "ukulinganisa" leyo ndawo kuze kubuyiselwe ukujwayelekile.
Baphinde bahlola le ndlela yokwelashwa entsha ku- abantu abanokucindezeleka okukhulu futhi ukwelashwa kwakhe, ukwelashwa kwengqondo nemithi yakhe, bekungasebenzi. Imiphumela ibe elandelayo:
Lapho umuntu ehlushwa ukucindezeleka, kunezindawo ezithile zobuchopho ezinomsebenzi ophansi kakhulu futhi kunendawo eyodwa ikakhulukazi, indawo ehlobene nosizi, esebenza kakhulu. Ngokufakwa kwama-electrode, lezo zindawo ezinomsebenzi omncane noma ongenawo lutho ziyavuselelwa futhi "indawo edabukisayo" yehliselwa ekusebenzeni kuya emazingeni ajwayelekile. Kwesokudla?
Ngikushiya nengqungquthela ukuze ukwazi ukwahlulela wena:
