A previously paralyzed man is walking again, thanks to a new device that connects his brain and his spinal cord, bypassing the injury he suffered 12 years ago. The 40-year-old is able to walk with the use of crutches as electrodes on his brain relay the message to electrodes on his spinal cord, stimulating the spine.
