Improving the foot controls

5:23

impressed with and

5:23

managed to to like make it good the

5:25

first time when the neuroscientists like

5:27

kind of Started collaborating With Me on

5:29

it I thought that they'd get rid of the

5:31

foot control pretty quickly but it has

5:33

lasted because is it works so well we

5:35

had almost 600 participants come and try

5:38

the third thumb for the first time and

5:39

then we asked them to do a task within a

5:41

minute 98% of people could could use the

5:44

third thumb within the first minute

5:46

which is really important for pieces of

5:48

Technology like this so how's my brain

5:50

activity looking tomorrow my clever

5:52

students have processed the information

5:55

that the machine has gathered and we can

5:58

look and see what happens when St uses

6:00

the thumb and what we find is that the

6:02

brain areas that control the foot and

6:05

control the hand they light up once he's

6:08

using his third thumb over a longer

6:11

period of time we might start seeing

6:14

changes where the brain

6:28

reconfiguratron he has a beautiful uh

6:31

activity in the right place to the right

6:34

amount he has a wonderful brain activity

6:37

oh thank goodness for

6:40

that Danny is a rock star to me I work

6:43

with so many
