New Brain Tech Helps Paralyzed Man Move Again! 🎉
Hey there! Have you ever imagined controlling things with your mind? Well, scientists from the Chinese mainland have made a huge step forward in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology!
A team led by Nankai University helped a 67-year-old man, who couldn’t move his left arm and leg because of a stroke, to move again! 🦾
So, how did they do it? Instead of opening up his skull (which sounds pretty scary!), they used a special device called a stent electrode. They gently guided it through his neck blood vessels right into his brain. 🧠
This device picks up brain signals and sends them wirelessly to a computer. After the surgery, the man could grasp things and even take his medicine by himself! Isn’t that amazing? 😃
This new method is less risky and helps patients recover faster. It could bring new hope to many people who have trouble moving because of strokes or other injuries. 💖
The team plans to help more people with this technology and explore new ways to help them get better. The future is looking bright! ✨
