postheadericon Implant could wirelessly relay brain signals to paralyzed limbs

For a large number of people with paralyzed limbs, the reason that they do not move the arm or the leg in question because the "move" command is not in a position from her brain to the limbs to achieve. This is often through the nervous system or brain damage, although the term itself is still fully functional ... so moving it might lie ahead if only It was a way to signal them. Now you might be on its way. Scientists at the University of Michigan have referred to as an implant BioBolt that wirelessly transmits neural signals from the brain to a computer. In future, the computer will hopefully guide them to a formerly paralyzed limb. .. Continue Reading Implant could wirelessly relay brain signals to paralyzed limbs
