1
Man paralysed below the shoulders has sensors placed in his motor cortex, the area of the brain responsible for hand movement
2
Virtual reality training helps create a brain-computer interface. This learns which brain signals are instructing which movements
Stimulator
Mobile support
3
Muscle-stimulating electrodes, and their leads, are implanted in man's upper and lower arm
4
Man thinks about making a movement, sending brain signals to the electrodes, which stimulate muscle contractions to help him complete the move
