Brain Implants Help Paralyzed Man To Walk Again

There’s now hope for people with severe spinal cord injuries who’ve been told they’ll never walk again.

In this report , the doctor of a 40-year-old man who’d been paralyzed for the last 10 years said,

He received the implant 10 years after his accident.

“Imagine when we apply our brain-spine interface a few weeks after the injury.

The potential for recovery is tremendous.

This new development is going to greatly expand what people think is possible.

Fifty years ago Dr Robert Becker wrote a fantastic book The Body Electric on his early research in bioelectricity.

His book chronicles his research and tells the story how he was vilified and marginalized for 20 years while he was trying to bring this science breakthrough to the world.

Now we have this. A real breakthrough based on Becker’s early work.

The Lesson:

Don’t let your doctors diagnosis be a sentence to you.

Look for other opinions and exhaust all possibilities because new ones are coming every day, faster than ever before.

For those more technically inclined here’s the research study that presents this particular research in spinal cord injury:
