New York: In a world's first, a novel device has given a paralysed man functional control of his hand where he can grasp and swipe a credit card or play a guitar video game with his own fingers and hand.
The device called NeuroLife is invented at Battelle - the world's largest nonprofit research and development organisation - along with neuroscientists from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Ohio State doctors identified the study participant and implanted a tiny computer chip into his brain. That pioneering participant Ian Burkhart is a 24-year-old quadriplegic from Dublin, Ohio, and the first person to use this technology.
