Paralyzed Man Walks, Thanks to AI 🚢🏻

Swiss researchers developed AI-powered brain implants and helped a paralyzed man to walk again after 12 years!

The tech consists of electrodes that are surgically implanted, and a headset with antennas that helps the man to stand, walk, and even climb stairs with 74% accuracy!

They restored his mobility, but they also helped with his neurological recovery.

Even when they switched off the tech, he regained the ability to walk with crutches.

Mindblowing.🀯

How does it work?

Put simply, these brain implants can translate brain signals into commands for muscle movement.

Basically, they built a β€œdigital bridge” between the brain and the spinal cord.

Imagine how many paralyzed people can regain their mobility again, and the impact it will have on their lives.
