Paralysed man feeds himself with help of implants
A paralysed man has been able to feed himself by using his thoughts to send messages from implants in his brain to ones in his arm. Bill Kochevar, who was paralysed in a cycling accident, said he was "wowed" to regain control of his right arm. Researchers say this is the first time anyone has been able to restore brain-controlled reaching and grasping in a person with complete paralysis. But the technology is a long way from being used outside the lab. "I think it's pretty cool I get to be the first one in the world to do it," said Bill, who was 53 when he took part in the study.
