Paralyzed man walks again with help of 'brain bridge' implant

[@TreasureSwanson]

I hope this procedure goes viral. Many people need this.

[@praveennaik2018]

Yes dude i hope this procedure had to come india What it can cure polio😢

[@houstonwehaveaproblem4187]

Certainly will now. Daily Dose Of Internet just talked about it.

[@TigerFucker]

​@@houstonwehaveaproblem4187 Lol, I'm here because of that too.

[@ThatControlUser]

​@@praveennaik2018it will be too expensive for India, atleast for the next few years

[@EstamosDe]

​@@ThatControlUserthis needs to be free, we cant be making them wait just because of money, if a cure exists we must cure everyone with it. We, citizens, should be ok with our taxes being used for this instead of war and weapons.

[@missyenglish1]

This is absolutely amazing. Well done to all the hard working people who made this possible.

I am almost in the same condition. Seeing this, made me cry

Fantastic! My sisters boyfriend is paralyzed also. I hope to see him walk down the aisle one day.

[@Freedom_is_essential1]

I hope to see it too! I actually believe it’s gonna happen in the near future

[@jamallhayden2512]

Amen

[@InjuredB33]

You have no idea how thrilled I was when I saw this. For a high school Biomed class project about 6 months back we had to create and design a new product/device that could be used for medical applications and the projects would be reviewed by a biomedical company that just so happened to specialize in spine related design and product. What I designed was almost exactly this device. I know that this is a different company from the one our projects were sent to, but it just thrills me that I at least formulated something that actually works and could be revolutionary in the restoration of paralysis

[@EstamosDe]

Hoping to see your next idea, people with good ideas tend to see what other people cantl!

[@mm-rj3vo]

Science, combined with a commitment to helping others. This is such a big but simple part of what can make the world a better place, instead of all these evil divides.

[@ZeoWorks]

It's also important to note that the man hasn't used his legs for almost 10 years, so the muscle is weak. Imagine where he'll be in another few months time.

[@1022vella]

Praying this becomes available soon everywhere

[@DMAC1301]

Did I just witness the future?

[@AdyyY77]

you did

[@quicksandsavior]

This seems AMAZING!

[@AtlasMays]

What interests me most about this whole thing is that he can walk again, without the device, due to establishing new nerve connections.

[@gabrieldarcy1744]

Wait, so the device kinda kick-started his body into repairing the damaged nerves? Cause that would be an AMAZING side effect!

[@yo9704]

Where you see that at

[@lezty]

It’s only to a certain level though if nerves have been completely severed in the spine, they cannot create new nerve connections so they would be limited to movements only with the help of the device

[@lezty]

@@gabrieldarcy1744 yes but only because the nerves weren’t completely severed

[@SASHISH-YT]

When it will be available for all the peoples suffering from spinal cord injury & other paralysis ?

[@JanikLps]

Im absolutely annoyed that we allready "cured"/treated paralysis with implants like this but people will still act like elon was the first to do it...

Was a privilege to have done a postdoc at EPFL! (not on this project, though my background is in this field)

[@kimorox813]

So when will this procedure actually goes viral? Will it take another 10 months before it becomes widely available to patients?

[@OHSuzyQ7]

Of course it's available in another country. US medical industry even care to help paralyzed ppl walk again???? Hell no. You know how hard its been, as a disabled vet, to get help walking again?!?! It's been 7yrs, still NO HELP!!!!

[@SinsBird]

It's not like this technology is available for other people, it's just being tested. But I don't see how it can be very useful at it's current stage, you see how slow it is, and a walker is required, and it's not going to get faster because there is a huge delay between brain signals and action. Also the person can't feel anything. I'm healthy myself but if I can't feel my legs I can't walk at all.

[@3mastiffsme]

This is unbelievable!!!!! There is hope 4 people like him. 1 day there will be no more wheelchairs. That’s the way technology is headed. I do hope for more. The blind to see, all people to hear,cures for all disease’s. Time…….

[@100dead]

Procedures like this, when they become publicly available in 3-10 years, will be ludicrously expensive in 95% of the world for probably another decade or two. With predictions for how our world may turn out if we go down our current path without any alterations, we may not live to see a day where 8b+ people can all afford miracles.

[@3mastiffsme]

@@100dead I choose to think positive. U could be right as far as finances, but a lot of people with these issues have healthcare(medicaid/medicare) therefore they will be eligible. And I don't see the World or people dying off anytime soon.
