Paralysis is one of the most restrictive conditions a human can suffer
from. Losing the ability to walk, write, or even talk not only impacts your
physical, but also your mental state in ways many of us can’t even imagine.Luckily, science is making huge progress in paralysis-treatment. Recently
implanted electrodes were able to collect movement signals from the brain
and decode them into movement commands. These electric impulses act as a
missing link between brain and body and effectively restore physical
capabilities.

Implants were placed into the spinal cords of three paralysed men,
all of which had their ability to walk restored just days later. If further
development goes well, it has the potential to become so effective that
once paralysed people will be able to return to a completely normal life
again.
