Brown University developed a computer system, and Matthew Nagle was the first person to use it! The system enables a paralyzed person to use thoughts to become actions. A cable is being plugged into electrodes in Matthew Nagle’s head. This allows him to image movements, which then occur. He has moved a computer cursor, opened email and turned on a television. The whole system was developed with imagination and a computer program.

Its results have been reported in an issue of the journal Nature. Are you able to imagine the significance of the system? There are many people, who are paralyzed and can not function on a daily basis. There are also people who suffer from many spinal cord injuries. Christopher Reeve made use of this technology after he suffered a spinal cord injury.

This new technology is a hope for many such paralyzed people. Having use this system, a person is in a cart loaded with electronics. A cable plugs into the skull for the final connection to the person. Brown University is also hoping to create a wireless implant device.

The scientific community has been waiting years for this brain-wave technology. They and we look forward to future developments. Improvements will surely come and provide some relief to the patients who quietly wait.
