This brilliant video by Mica, @PonderfulYT, is as clear an explanation as you’ll find of the neurodiversity movement, neurodivergence and neurotypicality, and their relation to disability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iicSLx19pc
And it’s not just good because Boba tries to steal the show! 😻

A paralysed woman has been able to speak via a brain to computer interface. The interface isn't perfect yet - words were only correct 72% of the time, but the speed is incredible. Previously, using eye movement tracking, the user (Ann) was getting 14 words a minute. The new interface was generating text at 78 words a minute!

My doctor drones on about how my brain is more like that of a football player or a boxer than an ordinary 30 something human but I am barely listening… I am lost in rage more than a decade old…

"Australian researchers have for the first time diagnosed a female athlete with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative brain disease caused by repeated head injuries, in a finding which will have major implications for women’s sport.
The Australian rules footballer and Adelaide premiership player Heather Anderson died in November 2022 at the age of 28, with her unexpected death the subject of an ongoing coronial investigation." #sport #concussion #CTE #ChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy #BrainInjury #BrainDamage #health #medical #dementia #medicine #Brain #Australia #AustralianRules #RugbyLeague #football #research #science

The short soundbite 40 seconds into this video of Professor Robert Knight talking about his new helmet design is a really clear illustration of how subconcussive and mild traumatic brain injuries can still have an effect.

"The brain is a very soft structure, it almost has the structure of a Jell-o ... The inside of the skull is actually repleat with bony ridges, and these bony ridges, when there's force to the skull and the brain starts bouncing around, produce all kinds of damage"

More info on the helmet design here https://www.brainguard.com/science-team/
Someone in the comments points out that its principle of rotational shock absorption is the same as the MIPS system, and the WaveCel design, compared here https://wavecel.cdn.prismic.io/wavecel%2Ff53a82df-12ba-429f-b217-bc4a39b8f883_accident+analysis+publication.pdf

Here are some track plans I've been refining from a couple of reference books, modified for #Nscale and #Zscale using #XtrackCad software. These #modelrailroad (s) will eventually visit those with #autism #braininjury and others with #developmentaldisability. The 3rd photo is a scale comparison, and also my first Z scale turnout, mid build. OMG This trackwork is SMALL 🧐🙂🙃
