For the first time researchers restore feeling and lasting movement in man living with quadriplegia:: In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, bioelectronic medicine researchers, engineers and surgeons at Northwell Health's The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have successfully implanted microchips into the brain of a man living with paralysis, and have developed artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to re-link his brain to his body and spinal cord.

Can you even imagine how anyone involved felt?!? The exultation and relief of the researchers when they not only didn't accidentally kill their patient but fixed him, the mind-blowing reality that he can move again as it sinks into the patient's brain.... !!!! I cry about every overwhelming emotion, good or bad, and I don't think I'd be able to stop crying for weeks.
