Brain chip restores function in paralyzed individual
Researchers from Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in the United States have developed an innovative brain chip capable of restoring movement and sensation in individuals with paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries. In a study involving a 42-year-old man who had a neck fracture in 2020, the technology demonstrated the chip's ability to restore up to 86% of movement in his arms and activate touch sensation. This allowed him to perform daily tasks such as scratching his nose and wiping his face independently. The benefits of the technology lasted for over two years, and the study hopes that this advancement will help millions of spinal cord injury patients in the future.
