Joost Hartog - The Netherlands
Amsterdam artist Joost Hartog suffered a diving accident in 1988 which left him diagnosed as quadriplegic.
While he has limited movement of his arms, for which he compensates exceptionally well, he cannot effectively use his hands or fingers.
In fact, until he used NeuroSwitch for the first time in Amsterdam in August 2008, he believed he had no controllable signals in his arms at all.
See the video below to see Joost in his first session with NeuroSwitch... and what he discovered. He is seen using a NeuroSwitch prototype - G2. The latest edition of NeuroSwitch is the G5 Liberator, featuring pocket-sized EMG monitor, with Bluetooth link to the Apple MacBook Pro laptop (included) and onboard AssistiveWare® virtual mouse and keyboard controls.
