Brain and Spine Implants Enable Paralyzed Man to Walk Naturally

TL;DR Summary
A man with paralysis has been able to walk naturally again after more than a decade, thanks to a "brain-spine interface" developed by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. The device creates a direct neurological link between the brain and spinal cord, allowing for smoother movements and better adaptations to changing terrain. The technology could also help people with arm and hand paralysis or who have had a stroke.
