Tech News Desk – This year, Artificial Intelligence has created its own identity in the market. Every day some or the other news is coming out regarding AI. Till now, with the help of AI, there were reports of reading human mind and interpreting dreams. But now another amazing charisma of AI has been seen. Actually, with the help of AI, some researchers cured a person who was paralyzed for 12 years and now he can walk easily. AI is going to play a big role in the healthcare sector in the coming times.
Karishma via Digital Bridge
In fact, in 2011 a man named Gert-Jan Oscum lost his ability to walk in a bicycle accident and was paralyzed from the waist down. After being paralyzed, Oscum had given up hope that he would ever be able to walk again. However, after 11 years with the help of European researchers, Oscam was able to run again. Researchers placed two implants in his brain and spinal cord, with the help of which a connection was made between his brain and spinal cord and Oscum was able to walk again with the help of his thoughts.
The researchers built a digital bridge between Oscam’s brain and spinal cord, bypassing all of the injured parts and sending a single beam directly to the spinal cord. Grégoire Courtine, a neuroscientist who was part of the team of researchers, said they were able to restore communication at Gert-Jan Oscum via a digital bridge that turns thoughts into action.
For this, a part of Oscum’s brain that normally controls the muscles of the legs was implanted. This implant senses the person’s thoughts and converts them into electrical signals and signals to the spinal cord to activate the muscles of the legs. With the help of a brain-spine interface, a person can control his legs and then signal them to walk, climb, etc. In this whole process, a chip is placed on the person’s head, which transmits signals to the spinal cord, a device and a digital bridge is created, with the help of which the person can perform actions.
