Hopefully, you have a lovely 2017, with no coma or anything like that. But, in the event that you do wind up in a coma, they may wake you with ultrasound. Applying the technology, doctors at UCLA were able to speed the recovery of a 25-year-old coma patient. Prior to the treatment, the man’s recovery was spotty at best, with only moments of apparent awareness. After they “jumped” his thalamus (the brain’s CPU) for three days, the man fully recovered from his coma. The results are prompting application on more patients. We could witness the end of the coma as we know it.
