Man Uses His Own Brainwaves To Retrain His Paralyzed Hand From: ECN Magazine - 04/13/2016 A scientific study being performed at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center based on an invention from Battelle has enabled a quadriplegic Ohio man to regain his ability to pick up objects, stir liquids and even play video games - using his own thoughts. Ian Burkhart of Dublin, Ohio made international headlines in June 2014 when he became the first paralyzed patient to use neural bypass technology known as NeuroLife to pick up and hold a spoon using his own thoughts.

Those signals are decoded by a computer and routed to an electronic sleeve that stimulates the user's forearm muscles in precise patterns. The result looks surprisingly simple and natural: When the user thinks about picking up a bottle, he picks up the bottle. When he thinks about playing a chord in Guitar Hero, he plays the chord.
