23-year old Ian Burkhart has become the first patient ever to move his paralysed hand by using his thoughts. The team at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center implanted a chip in Ian’s head to read his thoughts about moving his fingers. These intentions where then transferred to FES stimulators on his wrist.
