The Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) up to $2.5 million to develop an implantable neural device with the ability to record and stimulate neurons within the brain to help restore memory, DARPA officials announced this week. The research builds on the understanding that memory is a process in which neurons in certain regions of the brain encode information, store it and retrieve it. Certain types of illnesses and injuries, including Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy, disrupt this process and cause memory loss. TBI, in particular, has affected 270,000 military service members since 2000. The goal of LLNL's work -- driven by LLNL's Neural Technology group and undertaken in collaboration with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Medtronic -- is to develop a device that uses real-time recording and closed-loop stimulation of neural tissues to bridge gaps in the injured brain and restore individuals' ability to form new memories and access previously formed ones.

I dont trust them not to bend me over and have a romantic evening with my anus. 120hz is nice, but I would be happy to push out stable 60hz at that resolution. I am not super competitive gamer and I will take IPS panel over 120hz.

Now I am getting solid 14.8mbit with that yoke wireless. I will try with ethernet cable later. this little yoke gets 2 thumbs up from me lads. If you need to extend your internet further, then these do a great job.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DHB2T44/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1YP991FM9Y1PFZ8Z8ANR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455344027&pf_rd_i=468294

If they stop working open one up and if you see something like this; you'll know the capacitors gone. Easy fix but just thought I'd let you know.
ShadowHearth wrote: » Easy fix for you maybe. I dont know what I am looking at lol. I presume just to buy new ones and solder them back in?
Sarz91 wrote: » Yeah pretty much. I'm still on the first set I bought about 3-4 years ago so the design may have improved and I may be better off just buying a new set when these go on the blink again. On another topic, how are you finding the PS4? Is it worth picking one up for Destiny alone?
