Nevertheless, after three years Paul's father recovered completely. An accelero-meter in her hat transmits data on her movements to a receptor on her tongue. It has more tactile nerve endings than any part of the body other than the lips. He is a frequent lecturer on technology market trends and marketing in the telecom/internet marketplace.

She holds a Ph.D. After decades of struggling at the fringes of his discipline, he now has the financial backing to bring his work into the mainstream.

"She learned it almost immediately. "At any meeting you see loads and loads of papers on plasticity," Bach-y-Rita says. NASA has worked with him to develop sensors to enable astronauts to feel things on the outside of their space suits. In any argument over the dinner table, Pedro Bach-y-Rita "would always take the opposite side of the one he thought I would think."

"We don't see with our eyes," Bach-y-Rita is fond of saying.

She also managed clinical trials and customer relations within the European Union, as well as developing collaborative ties with numerous European opinion leaders.

Rewired brains

It wasn’t until the publication of a series of vivid studies involving brain scans that this new truth began to be encoded into the synapses of the masses.

Bach-y-Rita has devoted much of his career to a single, revolutionary concept: that our senses are interchangeable. Mr. Wang is on the board of Cerevast Therapeutics, a company developing a revolutionary treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Cheryl Schiltz lives in Windsor, Wisconsin. How else can our brains achieve so much mind power without using any more energy, pound for pound, than the brains of other animals?

Whether or not Bach-y-Rita is right about glial cells, more and more evidence suggests that the senses can be redirected.

"This useless man was doing something."

Neurologists in those years believed that brain damage was impossible to reverse. "If it's not stimulating the retina, it's unlikely, to my mind, that it's seeing."

"I totally disagree," Bach-y-Rita says. The brain doesn't care where the information comes from.
