Paralysed Man Walks Again Using Brain Implants: A Medical Breakthrough
Gert-Jan Oskam, a Dutch man paralyzed in a cycling accident, has regained the ability to walk through electronic brain implants. The implants wirelessly transmit his thoughts to his legs and feet via a second implant on his spine.
While still in the experimental stage, the development has been described as "very encouraging" by a leading UK spinal charity. The aim is to make this technology accessible to more people with spinal cord injuries in the future.
What potential do you see in brain implants and similar neurotechnologies for restoring function and independence to individuals with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions?
