A paralysed man has been able to walk again after communication was re-established between his brain and spinal cord using a wireless "digital bridge".

Neurosurgeons and neuroscientists in Switzerland worked on the digital bridge, helping a man to walk, climb stairs and ramps, and stand at a bar with friends. They hope the technology could one day be used to restore arm and hand functions too.
The so-called brain computer interface is made up of two electronic implants, one each in the brain and spinal cord.

Analysis: Paralysis breakthrough is quite astonishing - and AI is the key

The former is placed above the region of the brain responsible for controlling leg movements, and can decode the electrical signals generated when we think about walking.

Similarly, the other implant is positioned over the part of the spinal cord that controls the legs.

Working together, scientists say the groundbreaking technology "transforms thought into action" - repairing the broken connection between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that controls movement.

The first patient was a 40-year-old Dutchman, engineer Gert-Jan Oskam, who suffered a spinal cord injury in a bike accident while working in China in 2011.

We just have to be grateful to the whites for their tech advancement and making life easy for everyone.
