The article I´ve read was about a man with 56 years old called Bill Kochevar had a cycling accident and became paralyzed below his shoulders. But the incredible thing is that now with technology help the man can move his arm and hand correctly. This is thanks electrodes which make possible record brain information and activity and generate signals that makes the brain possible to stimulate the muscles. This was a real miracle because nobody had ever made possible to reconnect the brain to move the body again.
