A French man paralysed in a night club accident can walk again thanks to a brain-controlled exoskeleton in what scientists say is a breakthrough providing hope to tetraplegics seeking to regain movement.
A paralysed man has regained the ability to walk for the first time using only his thoughts, thanks to two implants that restored communication between brain and spinal cord. The advance is the result of more than a decade of work by a team of researchers in France and Switzerland.
A paralysed man has regained the ability to walk using only his thoughts thanks to new technology that restored communication between his brain and spinal cord.
Scientists used artificial intelligence (AI) to read a mouse’s brain while it watched a video clip - and then reconstruct what it saw.
Dr. Kelly Lambert's research lab at the University of Richmond, in the US state of Virginia, trains rats to drive small cars and rewards them with treats, exploring the potential benefits to the brain in the process. Watching rodents drive tiny custom-made cars is "kind of magical," says Lambert, a professor of behavioral neuroscience, adding that she wants to "make sure that it's not just a circus trick, that it is done in a scientific manner."
