SteemSTEM Distilled #113

As a consequence of our third anniversary, our 113^rd distilled of the best content posted last week on SteemSTEM is delayed. But patience helping, here we go! And at the end, Wednesday is less than 2 sigmas away from Monday. So... :)

For those who do not know what SteemSTEM is, please take a look here or pass by on Discord or on the Steem Chat.

DARPA Seeks Brain-Machine Communication Systems for Active Service Robots

Have you ever dreamed about communicating with a machine directly from your thoughts? @rycharde discussed this topic, detailing the issue of the machine reading attenuated brain signals correctly, so that it could interpret them in the right way. From there, the story is still long as communication should be two-ways. Here again, progresses have been made. Feel free to pass by the post for more information.

Medical complication: induced by Vitamin K antagonist

Anti-coagulent drugs are very useful in specific cases, as they allow for a good blood circulation. However, as any drug, they may have adverse effects as severe as skin lesions. In a very nice post, @anaestrada12 gives us a nice summary on blood coagulation, anti-coagulents and presents a real clinical case. Beware of the pictures (in short, please avoid reading the post during lunch).
