Over the last several years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Maysam Ghovanloo on the Data Safety Monitoring Board for the clinical trials of the Tongue-Drive System. This is a system that allows persons with quadriplegia to perform a variety of computer-aided tasks—including operating their wheelchairs—by changing the position of a magnet incased in jewelry worn in a tongue piercing.
I’ve written an article about the experience that has been published by BME News and will also be included in the summer 2012 issue of The Point: The Journal of the Professional Piercers, available for download at safepiercing.org starting June 1.
