Patients with severe paralysis could be about to receive a life-changing treatment thanks to a chip about the size of a 10p piece. When implanted in the brain, thousands of tiny threads in the N1 implant record brain activity triggered when the patient wants to manipulate a computer mouse or open an app, which can then be translated into the ability to move things on a computer screen.
It is a groundbreaking development meaning those who have lost the physical ability to control devices will once again be able to do so, using the power of their mind in conjunction with technology.
