This neural bypass technology has been brought to life by 24-year-old Ian Burkhart, the first person to use this system. Five years ago, Burkhart crashed into a hidden sandbar while swimming, and was paralyzed in his forearms, hands and lower body. The researchers implanted a tiny chip in Burkhart&#8217;s brain which can be hooked up to a computer, which then receives brain signals and decodes them in order to stimulate Burkhart\u2019s arm muscles.<\/p>\n<p>Full story: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/on.mash.to\/1Now7A3\">http:\/\/on.mash.to\/1Now7A3<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2016\/04\/13\/paralyzed-hand-movement\/\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More about <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/paralysis\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Paralysis<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/biotechnology\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Biotechnology<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/brain\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Brain<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/machine-learning\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Machine Learning<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/us-world\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Us World<\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/jump\/mash.to\/rss;pos=atf;tag=ad;mtype=standard;type=rss;sz=300x250;ord=1460576954' target='_blank'><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/ad\/mash.to\/rss;pos=atf;tag=ad;mtype=standard;type=rss;sz=300x250;ord=1460576954'><br \/>\n<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Mashable\/~4\/qTNyUJGWKsk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers have developed a technology that empowers movement in paralyzed limbs.
