Implants in the brain track intentions for movement, which are wirelessly transferred to a processing unit that a person wears externally, like a backpack. The intentions are translated into commands that the processing unit sends back through the second implant to stimulate muscles. The research findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, outline successful outcomes for one study participant from the Netherlands." | 1440 is the daily newsletter helping over 2 million Americans stay informed — it's news without motives, edited to be unbiased as humanly possible.
