Paralyzed man walks again thanks to brain and spine implants

Dutch man whose spinal cord was injured in a bike accident a dozen years ago can now walk thanks to stimulators implanted on his brain and spinal cord, according to a study published Wednesday.
Previous versions of the spinal cord stimulation that Gert-Jan Oskam received have helped people stand and take steps, but only after first pushing a button to activate the device. The new system enables him to merely think about walking before he can do it.
Stimulation from both points reestablishes communication between the brain and the area of the spinal cord that controls leg movements, enabling more natural walking, said Grégoire Courtine, who helped lead the research.

We should chip in and get this for OweO. Potential bonus is he would start better threads.

"The standard"....Musk has said that the implantation of neuro links as the standard of care is 4-5 years away. They will be used to "fix" any injury due to nerve damage in the brain. Vision loss: fixable; Vocal loss : fixable. dementia " fixable; paralyzed ( legs ) fixable. 5-10 years from now : the ability of 2 humans to communicate without talking.

6-11 years from now government propaganda piped directly into your brain and you can’t turn it off.

Can you use this technology to reanimate corpses? Think about the amazing capabilities for the war machine industrial complex

Is there an option to short circuit them when a person is crossing a busy intersection.
Asking for a friend.

As much as I can't stand this dude, I'd absolutely donate if it was a real possibility. Hell, I bet even Fr33 would too.
