For the first time ever, a paralyzed man can move his fingers and hand with his own thoughts thanks to a new device. A 23-year-old quadriplegic is the first patient to use Neurobridge, an electronic neural bypass for spinal cord injuries that reconnects the brain directly to muscles, allowing voluntary and functional control of a paralyzed limb.

This is a very important breakthrough in help people with paralysing injuries, to think that some of these people may yet again regain the use of their limbs through the use of this new technology and live more productive lives.
Medical research has come a very long way in the past years, and the fact that it is now possible to artificially link the brain to one's limbs is almost unbelievable. If research continues at this rate, we may soon be seeing realistic artificial limbs, and possibly even some vast improvements to artificial sight technologies.
