Medical breakthrough: Brain chip allows paralyzed man to regain hand movement

The video discusses a medical breakthrough where a chip is implanted in a paralyzed patient's motor cortex to help regain movement. The chip records brain signals for hand movements, which are decoded and transmitted to an arm sleeve with electrodes. These electrodes stimulate muscles, allowing movement despite paralysis.

What was the result of the spinal cord injury mentioned in the video?

• Complete recovery

• Loss of speech

• Paralysis from the chest down

• Blindness

Where was the chip inserted to help with movement?

• In the leg muscles

• In the heart

• In the motor cortex

• In the spinal cord

What is the primary function of the chip inserted into the brain?

• To regulate heartbeat

• To improve vision

• To enhance memory

• To record brain signals for hand movements

How are the decoded signals used to facilitate movement?

• They are transmitted to an arm sleeve with electrodes

• They are sent to a pacemaker

• They are used to generate sound

• They are stored in a database

What role do the electrodes in the arm sleeve play?

• They enhance sensory perception

• They measure blood pressure

• They stimulate muscles to allow movement

• They record brain activity
