Every 40 seconds: that’s how often someone in the United States has a stroke. And it’s not uncommon for many of these patients to experience impaired functionality for the rest of their lives. But now, thanks to the latest technology, could something that seems straight out of a science-fiction novel like brain-computer interfaces help us improve the aftereffects of a stroke? Joining Dr. David Weisman to discuss his research that sought to address that exact question is Dr. Mijail Serruya.

Thousands of Americans live with the debilitating aftereffects of stroke, such as arm and communication problems. This makes technological developments like brain-computer interfaces absolutely critical for stroke survivors, but some questions are beginning to arise regarding the ethics of this technology. So in order for us to fully pursue this advancement, it’s important that we address those ethical concerns, as Dr. Mijail Serruya explains.
