The first prototype of a computer mouse, as designed by Bill English from Engelbart's sketches [1]. Early dynamic information devices such as radar displays, where input devices were used for direct control of computer-created data, set the basis for later improvements of graphical interfaces. [2]
The first recorded use of cadaver crash test dummies was performed by Lawrence Patrick, in the 1930s, after using his own body, and of his students, to test the limits of the human body. His first cadaver use was when he tossed a cadaver down an elevator shaft.

(Reuters) -The first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink appears to have fully recovered and is able to control a computer mouse using their thoughts, the startup's founder ...
Objections to the use of cadavers have led to the use of alternatives including virtual dissection of computer models. In the field of surgery, the term "dissection" or "dissecting" means more specifically the practice of separating an anatomical structure (an organ , nerve or blood vessel ) from its surrounding connective tissue in order to ...
Neuralink owner Elon Musk says the company's first human patient is now able to control basic computer mouse movements using a brain implant they received earlier this year.
