Brain implant as a chance for the paralyzed. We have information that can change the face of science once and for all. Scientists at Stanford University developed an amazing thing. An implant that will help paralyzed people write with the help of the brain. The computer converts the signal that we usually use while typing. Text appears on the screen. How will this invention affect the quality of life of people after accidents?

Brain implant - the first tests are behind us ...

Yes, it really works! The first texts are behind us. The first daredevil who, together with scientists, tested the possibilities of the amazing device was a 65-year-old man. In 2007, he had an accident with a spinal cord injury.

“Researchers placed two implants in his brain located in the motor cortex, which is responsible for controlling movement. They also instructed him to imagine that he was writing on a piece of paper with a pen. The brain chips then sent his neural signal through wires to a computer. There's an algorithm artificial intelligence essentially transcribed his “thought writing” by decoding the movements of his hands and fingers. As a result, the patient was able to type at a speed of 18 words per minute, with 94,1 percent accuracy. This is quite a good result, because, for comparison, a fully functional person of a similar age reaches 23 words per minute when typing on a smartphone.” (source of information: https://technogadzet.pl/).

Hope for the sick ... When will this amazing product hit the market?

Brain implant. Undoubtedly, a discovery of this kind gives hope to many sick people who have difficulties communicating with their loved ones after serious accidents. There is a high probability that the implant will speed up and facilitate contact with family and friends. Unfortunately, it will not happen so quickly. This product is in the testing phase. Scientists are working on it all the time. Even if the project is successfully completed, the necessary safety tests must still be performed. This, of course, is perfectly understandable. So when will this product hit the medical market? Will it be available to everyone? What will its price be? We will have to wait a few more years to answer these questions.
