Welcome to my daily learning journal. My daily goal is to watch one Ted Talk and one cataract surgery. I also plan to read one journal article and read/listen to a book chapter, short story or significant work.
Here’s today’s list:
1. Ted Talk – Mary Lou Jepsen PhD. Could future devices read images from our brains? (Posted Mar 2014). “As an expert on cutting-edge digital displays, Mary Lou Jepsen studies how to show our most creative ideas on screens. And as a brain surgery patient herself, she is driven to know more about the neural activity that underlies invention, creativity, thought. She meshes these two passions in a rather mind-blowing talk on two cutting-edge brain studies that might point to a new frontier in understanding how (and what) we think.” (ted.com)
A remarkable talk. It would be most interesting to see how this technology has evolved since 2014.
2A. Cataract Surgery – Uday Devgan MD. Expert Surgeon versus The Rock. Great case.
2B. Cataract Surgery – Ike Ahmed MD – Phaco Debulk Chop for Dense Cataracts. Love this technique.
