Bill Kochevar can now use his arms to feed himself thanks to the brain implants that send a signal to a muscle-stimulating system that he controls just by directing his limbs to work as they should. Mr. Kochevar suffered a neck injury that paralyzed him from just below the shoulders when he ran his bike into the back of a U.S. Mail vehicle.

Fantastic.
Well that’s pretty cool, science that is. I was in a bike accident once, dropped 15 feet on my face going 25 mph off a jump and ate the handlebars. Concussion, cracked orbits, palate cracked in half like a potato chip, 7 root canals and deal with abscesses today. A bit more hairy than running into a mail truck. This guy got a bad deal, he hit just the right spot. It should be me in his position.
We can do good stuff as well, it seems.
How fast can he move the hand up and down?
I’m just asking for…um, you know – for Science. Yeah.
😉
When consider the complexity of this task, I stand in awe!!!!
wonderful.
This is truly amazing. God bless those researchers that made this happen.
eternal cracker p— Damn, dude! Glad you’re still with us.
Cyborg is here Bro.What else could
he control??? Maybe inside an extoskeleton
15′ tall.Like maybe a General Dynamic .50 cal
electronic radar/laser guided roller gun…
Like maybe a fleet of drones to support his
offensive attack on YOU.
