WASHINGTON, Sept 28 — A paralysed Swiss man has become the first person to test a new technology that reads his thoughts using AI and then transmits signals through his own nervous system to his arms, hands and fingers in order to restore movement.
Though walking comes with its own challenges — notably balance — “the musculature of the hand is quite fine, with many different small muscles activated at the same time for certain movements,” she said. In the second, surgeons placed a stimulator roughly the size of a credit card developed by Onward inside the patient’s abdomen, and connected it through electrodes to the top of his spinal column.
The movements will then have to be practised many times before they can become natural. The process will take a few months, according to Dr. Bloch. And brain implants have already been used so that a patient can control an exoskeleton. The Battelle research organisation used a brain implant to restore movement in a patient’s arm — through a sleeve of electrodes placed on the forearm, stimulating the muscles required from above.
