Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink is building brain implants to help paralyzed people walk again.
Scientists have figured out that even when someone is paralyzed, their brain still tries to send signals to their limbs to move. It’s like the brain is shouting, “Walk!” but the message gets stuck because the spinal cord is broken. Neuralink’s plan is to steal the messages from the brain and deliver them past the broken part, so the legs can hear them again. Isn’t this remarkable?!
