"Get up in your bed and walk," said - in modern Greek - o
Jesus to the paralytic he healed, performing one of the
his miracles. Contemporaries aspire to say something similar
scientists as research on motion and function progresses
artificial human limbs which will be simply controlled… by
brain waves, thus obeying the commands of a paralytic
our fellow man.
Pioneers in these endeavors seem to be the members of a research
team from Duke University in North Carolina, USA,
headed by the professor Miguel Nicolelis (Greek
not do you see the name? ),
but also another team from England
with headed by Professor Stephen Jackson.
But in order for the movement of artificial limbs by someone to be effective
paralyzed man, scientists say he should
a special chip is implanted in the brain, which will collect the
brain signals and will send them to the patient's mechanical end. '
Thus some of our paralyzed fellow human beings so far will be able to move one
artificial arm or leg… just thinking that they want to do it !!!
To do all this, of course, scientists are in a constant
attempt to map the brain and assign specifics
brain waves with the corresponding areas of the body that they
control.

The research is painstaking and there is the belief and hope that in five
years at the latest the results will be fully satisfactory and the
method applicable.
At present, experiments have been performed on patients with his disease
Parkinson, who managed to successfully play an electronic
game.
Similar experiments have been performed with animals. So some monkeys could
move a "cursor" (cursor) on a computer screen,
communicating only with their own brain waves.
Eventually our brain proves to be once again a mighty one
tool!
