Completely Paralyzed Man Walks with Help of a Brain Computer Interface, Muscle Stimulators
In California, a Paralyzed man took a small step that will be great for mankind.*In a world’s first, researchers at the University of California, Irvine are reporting that a Completely Paralyzed man was able to walk thanks to a brain-computer interface linked to electrical Muscle stimulators placed over the leg muscles. The tech**logy effectively bypasses the injured spinal cord and does so without any invasive procedures, relying on traditional electroencephalography (EEG) and commonly used stick-on electrodes.

The man has been*paralyzed for five years due to a complete spinal cord transection, but was still able to generate the signature brainwaves that were used to trigger the Muscle stimulators. This required quite a bit of mental training and special rehabilitation, but with assistance from a sling and a stroller helping to bear his weight, the man walked twelve feet (~4 meters) down a straight line.

This is certainly an amazing achievement that brings real hope to people with spinal cord injuries. Plus, considering this is only the first proof-of-concept trial of the tech**logy, there’s potential for it to be considerably more effective than what was accomplished so far.

Here’s video of the Paralyzed man taking first historic steps:
