Brain implants help a paralyzed man to walk again

  • 25/05/2023

Switzerland: A man who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident more than ten years ago is now walking again thanks to artificial intelligence-assisted surgery. A cycling accident left a 40-year-old man from the  Netherlands named Gert-Jan Oskam paralyzed. Through a second implant on his spine, the electronic implants transmit his thoughts to his legs. A renowned UK spinal charity called the system "very encouraging" despite the fact that it is still in the experimental stage.
