Submission + - Brain-decoding chip, algorithms give quadriplegic movement again 1
rlinke writes: Thanks to a computer chip, algorithms and nearly 10 years of research, a 23-year-old quadriplegic moved his fingers and hand with the power of his own thoughts.
The system, which is aimed at spinal cord injuries, is designed to reconnect the brain directly to muscles, allowing voluntary and functional control of a paralyzed limb.
The technology may one day give self-propelled movement back to patients affected by brain and spinal cord injuries.
