Researchers have developed a tech**logy that empowers movement in paralyzed limbs. This neural bypass tech**logy has been brought to life by 24-year-old Ian Burkhart, the first person to use this system. Five years ago, Burkhart crashed into a hidden sandbar while swimming, and was paralyzed in his forearms, hands and lower body. The researchers implanted a tiny chip in Burkhart's brain which can be hooked up to a computer, which then receives brain signals and decodes them in order to stimulate Burkhart’s arm muscles.
