Spinal injuries that can lead to complete paralysis are medical conditions that have no cure. The nerves in the spinal cord can’t be healed to restore motor function, but researchers are looking at other ways to bypass the injury and allow paralyzed people to perform some of the tasks that aren’t available to them after the injury.
Researchers from Stanford University were able to devise a brain implant that successfully allowed a quadriplegic man to write text messages by simply imagining the process of physically writing letters on a sheet of paper. The technology has impressive accuracy of 95%, and the man was able to "type" about 90 characters per minute.
