Paralyzed Man Able To Move Again Due To Microchip Implant
An astonishing new brain implant has allowed a paralyzed man to move again Ian Burkhart was involved in a swimming accident five years ago that left him paralyzed and unable to use his hands, but he is now able to perform a multitude of tasks from pouring water to playing video games. GeoBeats News reports: The technology was developed by researchers from both Ohio State University and Batelle Research. It operates by allowing brain signals to bypass Burkhart’s damaged spinal cord and be delivered directly to the appropriate muscles.
