Brain implant restores movement and touch

A brain implant called a double neural bypass restored hand movement and touch to Keith Thomas, paralyzed from the chest down after a 2020 diving accident. Developed by the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, the system uses AI and electrodes to decode movement intentions and stimulate muscles and sensory cortex. After 35 weeks, Thomas's right arm strength increased 86% and he could feed himself.
