He achieved the world's first direct electronic communication between two human nervous systems, the basis for thought communication. Another project extended human sensory input to include ultrasonics. He also linked his nervous system with the internet in order to control a robot hand directly from his neural signals, across the Atlantic Ocean.

Kevin's presentation was great! It was an early morning, and he definitely captured everyone's attention with the fascinating work he is doing. The group grabbed Kevin and a fellow speaker for interviews following the afternoon session, and they said they loved him!
