Groundbreaking brain implant allows paralyzed patients to regain use of electronics – Study Finds
Researchers say Stentrode, a tiny brain implant the size of a paperclip, allows patients dealing with paralysis to email, text, and even shop online.

A team in Australia is giving hope back to those who can’t use their arms. Their study reveals two patients have had a wireless device successfully implanted into their brains. It’s allowing them to overcome amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is slowly robbing them of the use of their limbs.
